So... the option is also given, to include extreme rare variants of writing forms ..... as well as "extra bold" .... if that should be the case sometime.

Yes, like e.g. type-swissbt-extrabold-n7.dat

Uli has also recognised that this does not encode the glyph colour, so because colour 16 is used for the background, we cannot use the existing files to render white text.

We could a) separate the foreground from the background two have two files for each glyph which can then be coloured independently, or b) duplicate the files, where necessary, for each additional colour.

Also, should we use a consistent height across all files? The Stencil glyph files use a height of 10LDu and reduce, wheras the new SwissBT glyph files use a height of 1LDu and enlarge.

Or is this all getting unnecessarily complex and we should just inline?
