defined encodings. Yes, this might come in handy. But then again are
there that many aliases used for font encodings?
I think the idea was primarily to work around a bug in the encoding info
coming from X.
However - I guess you are right ... if the bug is in the info we are
being given, it
should be fixed at source (ie in the X setup) rather than in GNUstep.
