For some reason widths of many glyphs are changed by this patch,
that doesn't look correct.

system.sfd: make 18 pixel strike with Japanese jvgasys glyphs

[Aric Stewart]

Ahh, too late at night and my attempts to get the widths for the 18 
pixel strikes had side effects.

I have resubmitted.  Hand checked the widths of the glyphs for both 16 
and 18 pixles to make sure they are correct.  Had to redraw many of the 
18 pixel strikes (The capitals) to get them to fit into the proper widths.

New patch still changes widths of a lot of existing glyphs, watch out
for changes like:

I think this is ok.  The Width between the StartChar/EndChar lines is 
the width of the outline glyph, but these fonts don't have outline 
glyphs so it doesn't really matter.  Fontforge seems to reset this 
whenever you add a new bitmap strike.

I do tend to edit the sfd to remove these changes in order to reduce the 
size of the diff.

Huw.
