<P>The program <CODE>setfont</CODE> will accept font descriptions like
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
# combine partial fonts
none.00-17.16
ascii.20-7f.16
none.00-17.16
8859-1.a0-ff.16
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>

where the first line is precisely <CODE># combine partial fonts</CODE>
and the remaining lines contain filenames for PSF fonts to load.
The above example (it is the file <CODE>iso01.16</CODE>)
describes a font with 256 positions, of which the first 32 are taken
from the file <CODE>none.00-17.16</CODE>, the following 96 from
<CODE>ascii.20-7f.16</CODE>, the following 32 from
<CODE>none.00-17.16</CODE> again, and the final 96 from
<CODE>8859-1.a0-ff.16</CODE>.
In this way all ISO 8859-* fonts of a given pointsize (here 16)
can share the same initial 160 positions.
