Thank you for the reference, Eli.

I've read the whole "Character Display" section, but it's really above my head; at least the parts that are probably relevant.

I tried to follow the example that starts with

(setq disptab (make-display-table))
...
[incidentally, there are spurious parentheses at the end of that code]

modifying the "(aset disptab ...)", but no success.
