I've found a good replacement by using a xft font with very small
height: "Bitstream Charter" with height '20' is 1 pixel wide and 4
pixels high. Everything below 11 makes Emacs segfault with a floating
point exception (should I submit a report about this? I think there was
already one, but I cannot find it).
The only thing still bothering me is the rightmost column that is
reserved for the truncation/continuation character. I already tried
setting it to 'zero-width' through glyphless-char-display, but that does
not work. Can I somehow reclaim the rightmost column, or is this fixed?
