I was talking about adding a glyph to the font, too. But the glyph is
basically just a rectangle, and there already exists a function for
drawing these (to wit, draw_rounded_block() in feta-macros.mf), so
it's not a big deal. It's just a question of fiddling with the
parameters and finding a nice name for the glyph. Hence my questions.

OK, thanks. Any suggestions for a name? I can't think of a good one
which concisely captures the glyph's meaning (mainly because I don't
know what that meaning is :-P).

Cheers,
