Whilst attempting to use Greybeard in a keynote presentation, I noticed the linefeed glyph appeared wherever I hit shift-enter to manually split a line (i.e. a particularly long bulleted list item running into an image). This is common enough that this glyph should be optional, and the default should be not to show them.
This applies to the following glyphs:
CtlHT: horizontal tab
CtlLF: line feed
CtlVT: vertical tab
CtlFF: form feed
CtlCR: carriage return
CtlNL: newline
The normal precedent for feature selection is to edit the VARIANTS.dat file originally provided by UW ttyp0, which is what is done to avoid the display of non-breaking space by simply copying the ordinary space glyph in its place:
# build/VARIANTS.dat
COPYTO Space SpaceNoBreak
This won't work here since these characters should be zero width. Furthermore the original distribution's bdfmangle tool, which is used to parse and execute the changes in VARIANTS.dat, does not have a verb to delete or omit glyphs, so one will have to be added or a new tool will have to be written.
It's likely going to have to be a new tool so that I don't have to write Perl, and also to help out with the work that needs to be done for #6
