[bug #63018] font/devps/ZD: make glyphs accessible via their Unicode spellings

[Deri James]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #63018 (group groff):

Probably the best way of doing this is by adding to dingbats.map, a suitable
one is attached (to replace the one in font/devps/generate). Also attached is
a replacement ZD file to be placed in fonts/devps. Doing make will propagate
the changes to devpdf and when U-ZD is created it will use the new
dingbats.map.

The attached .trf file includes all the characters in the unicode 2700 code
page (see U2700.pdf). When you run it you will see that some code points are
missing from the font, this probably because the font was created before
unicode and there have been numerous changes.

ZDR is a different kettle of fish! It does not make sense reversing many of
the glyphs, and they would not have unicodes anyway. We currently only have
one entry in reversed-dingbats.map, for \[lh]. For gropdf we have it defined
in pdf.tmac as:-

.char \[lh] \X'pdf: xrev'\[rh]\X'pdf: xrev'
