Ummm, I didn't know.  I want to do the work of implementing
a real font-object at the same time as I make the
font-backend the mandatory and remove all legary font
handling code.  But, as I'm now so overloaded, I can't start
that work.  If fixing this problem is urgent, I welcome
anyone to change the current font-object representation to a
real object.
