[bug #63018] [PATCH] make glyphs in ZD font accessible via their Unicode spellings

[Deri James]

Follow-up Comment #33, bug #63018 (group groff):

Hi Dave,

This started off as a simple request to give access to Dingbats glyphs via
their \[uXXXX] names... and then wandered!

The main wandering was the desire to make the grops fonts to be generated
during a groff build, and I have given up on that little beauty, although it
is 99% doable. So we are stuck with grops fonts in aspic, we just deliver the
file as part of groff.

This means the solution to this bug is simple: install the new dingbats.map
file and run the current afmtodit (with appropriate parameters), using the
current dingbats.afm file, and replace the current ZD and ZDR files with the
results.

There is no manual editing of the font files required.
