+No. The `fon` file format, dated as it is, does not support Unicode and

+## How did you edit the glyphs?
+
+With a text editor (vim). I wrote the [`hextosrc`](hextosrc.c) utility
+which turns `gallant.hex` into a human readable file with 1 character
+cell per pixel, a row count from 22 down to 1 so I know where the
+baseline (06) is and each pixel row between `|` characters (12 or 24,
+space for pixel not set, full block `█` for set). My
+[`srctohex`](srctohex.c) utility converts in the opposite direction.

+The row numbers and Unicode names are ignored by `srctohex`, and
+inserted/restored by `hextosrc`. This allows to freely add and delete
+pixel rows without tedious row renumbering or knowing the Unicode name.
+
+The utilites are complemented by [`hextobdf`](hextobdf.c) to generate
+`gallant.bdf`. From there, other tools can create additional font formats.
