Permanent vacation? What do you mean ... dead?! Wishful thinking...

Sorry, Rolf, I was away for sixteen days, holidaying in the South
Island, avoiding people and their computers on the wild West Coast. I
came back last night, but it took me many hours to wade through about
thousand messages. Most of them from this list and - I am sorry to be
forced to say it, but it has to be said - vast majority of them were
just worthless rubbish, often mixed with deviant pubescent behavior,
or, even worse, shockingly bad lyrics from a talentless creep. Robert
promised us a moderated list under such conditions. What is he waiting
for? How deep do we have to sink before he does what is clearly his
responsibility now? I fear if he does not move reasonably promptly, he
might find himself alone here, with just MTS and a handful of
Ferdinands to keep him company...
But back to business, Rolf. rfont treats just two characters out of
256 differently from rest. One is zero, which is used conventionally
to reset font attributes, and the other is char 10, the newline
character. When that is encountered, linefeed and carriage return
combination is performed. Its details depend on the current line
justification. I am afraid there is currently no way to print this
character directly. But if you are desperate to do so, let me know and
I'll try to modify the include for you.
Until then, as you always say, have a nice day!
