I distincly remember spending a lot of time manually creating a simple
font, I think it was either called "complete" or "builtin". Then
intention was to include all allowed characters in that one. Don't think
it ever got that far, but I do think it was a monospaced font.


"Complete", yes.

However, what one wants probably isn't just "a" font but four fonts
(normal, bold, italic, bold+italic) which are grouped into a "fontpack".
(else how do you produce , e.g., bold letters?)
IIRC, the builtin cimplete font is only "normal",  isn't it?

Hence the courier (which exists as four fonts....)

I think I have adapted a "proper" monospace font (IIRC it wasn't Courier -which I BTW despise with a passion- but a full (Unicode) version of Bitrstream Monospace 821) using Joachim's modified PFB2PFF converter... which I am not sure I have anymore...
However time permitting I could either dig it out or whip up another one for inclusion :-) (The problem with PFB2PFF remains though... I will have to see if I have the newest version that can deal with Unicode PFBs or the older one that I originally bought)


Phoebus (ΦΟΙΒΟΣ) - I want to see who can decode this one :-)
