Still can't get the right /look/ without the font...
I had thought of
<img src="redR.gif"><img src="redE.gif"><img src="redD.gif"><img
src="space.gif">....

But with the entire character set to do, plus graphics, plus seperated
graphics, in each posible combination of colours ... that's a fair few
images to construct..

However, I've just been looking at some css2 docs that say you can
specify where the client should download the font from.  Might be a
solution - do current browsers support that?
