Thanks for going to the trouble, Bernie.

One problem (easily fixed) with that was that Euphoria didn't like that the name
of each constant was a number.

The other problem was that the size of the include file was around 40MBytes,
which took a while to load on my fast server, but *minutes* on my laptop. This
made it unworkable.

I've now gone to inline processing. I read in the font file as is, do a lookup
and expand/process it as required. It's quite fast enough.

Thanks,
