But almost the whole "Gray train era" is specially made with this font.

However....Would be nice if there could rise soon a clear and effective decision and therefore a solution to generally get on with it .... for all font types.

I think I have given this enough time for discussion, with no further responses. So I wil go ahead with:

The general case would be:

Code:
Code:
type-{fontname}-{style}-{glyph-class}{character-code}.dat
type-{fontname}-{style}-{glyph-class}{character-code}-{colour-code}.dat

where style is (normal, bold, extrabold, italic, etc) glyph-class is (u=upper case letter, l=lower case letter, n=number, s=symbol, a=upper case accented letter, b=lower case accented letter) and character-code is the glyph identifier (a-z for the upper and lower case letters, 0-9 for the numbers, arbitrary for symbols). The default colour will be black with colour 16 background. The [-{colour-code}] extension can be used for additional colours, for the few cases it is needed.

I will rename the existing SwissBT files and update the dependencies.
