Shouldn't change a thing, actually:P the only warning maybe is to stay
clear of the backspace character (and maybe the underline) since I use
the first for escaping the TechSet 1 characters (they actually all have
an unicode point but it's a pain to find/type them... ) and the second
to toggle subscript mode.

Also I think that pulling out the font data in a file would be the best
choice (so the user can use the preferred one); I'd stick that at
a project level (not an user option since it changes the design)

(BTW compactness helps labeling terminal blocks on the silk screen :D)
