Perhaps it is? How do I do that? If I do that, does that mean I
get two more chars (one to the left, and one to the right) per
line? That would be cool: I use such huge fonts - at least
compared to most other people - so while *I* am used to typing
short lines, when I browse code from other programmers, even an
extra two chars would be great, because those lines tend to be
very long.

0 (zero) - is that how to denote the "glyph"?

Yes, that worked. I will try to use it globally. I'll find soon
enough if the dollar sign gets missed.
