I've got the NPP extended characters working in WIP 5, so now Eol has
umlauts, both in his title, and in Maeglin's description. I stupidly
made my own latin1 translation table by inspection, so it took longer
than it should have Sad

bug in z-term.c: Term_queue_char() is missing call to xchar_trans().
This was causing xchar descriptions to get mangled. (Phial, Maeglin,
etc.)

NOT done: non-latin1 symbols like open door, pile of rubble etc. I
have not figured out how to convert a set of BDF fonts to a Mac font
family. ufond and fontforge (sourceforge projects) don't seem to work.

I'll send the code to anyone interested.
