It is a strange function,q and I don't understand how to utilize it. Could someone please explain it? This is meant for text terminals. The idea is that you know a sequence to send to the terminal to display a certain glyph. You call create-glyph to allocate a glyph code to represent that glyph. Redisplay will display that glyph by sending the sequence. Does that clear it up?
