I grepped my code for glyph-table and create-glyph, and I don't use them. However, I do use what is essentially Kim's `make-glyph-code' (which I thought was going to be added to Emacs for version 23), so I hope glyphs are not being removed altogether. (I use `make-glyph-code' to provide replacement text for "^L" for inserted form-feed chars.)
