I thought someone already did. I seem to recall that someone posted a
patch many months ago to do this. But if memory serves, people also
commented that the ISO font was easily available, and that people doing
Web work simply installed the font.. I thought the ISO font was defined in
the appropriate standards as the One True Font? If so using it seems a
reasonable thing to do.
