Crud.

It looks like it's time for a redraw.

There is a remarkable dearth of text body fonts in there. Surely we  
can harness the power of open source to generate some good body type?

Maybe we can start with some model characters (oOxXlwWbBAH) and go  
from there?

... or is this one of those "new guy on the list brings up the same  
thing we keep trying to do like it's a new idea" things?
