Yes, and from what I remember, the solution was to simply add the
missing glyphs to demo.dat. There only was some doubt which font to use,
it should be a completely free one. I remember, I tried to do it with
xf2pcx.. but there was some problem which I forgot :P Anyway, this
reminds me, I have a version of demo.c which is cleaned up and split up
into multiple files.. should I create a patch for it? Or will the demo
be removed for 4.2.0 anyway, so no point to apply it now? (In which
case, missing glyphs in demo.dat wouldn't matter as well..)
