Well I see, my basic proposition that everything that Arachne cannot 
do is evil JavaScript is not entirely true. I will do some reading, 
and may be I will come up with some new icon.

... and so it should have had in all the other fonts. IIRC the 
Arachne users are equipped with a font editor. So probably 
updating of all the other fonts need not necessarily be your 
task.

So this seems to be a specific change to West European fonts (even if 
the FreeDOS codepages have all been updated with Euro symbol). I need 
not worry any more about a font revolution.

I just wanted to offer cooperation on those fields that do not 
require programming knowledge. This may be FAQs etc.
