If so, what do you use it for? term/internal.el uses multi-character glyphs to display characters that are not supported by the available character set. But it doesn't use create-glyph, it sets up display-table so that some characters are displayed as strings of other characters. > As a separate feature, you can use display-table to display a > character code as a series of glyphs. But each of those glyphs > is supposed to occupy one space on the screen. It works as expected even if they occupy more than one screen space. So I think create-glyph is not important for internal.el.
