instead of going through many levels of tree/trie, lookup function will just select array element by hash value and look through a few elements in assoc list:

data HT a b = HT (a->Int)               -- hash function
                 (Array Int [(a,b)])

HT.lookup (HT hash arr) a   =   List.lookup (arr!hash a) a
Which makes two assumptions. One is that your array is big enough (believable), and the other, that your font is big enough.
