        !            14: so that full 16 bit characters can be addressed.

        !            16: The Xerox Character Encoding Standard specifies a character set of 65K

        !            18: .I troff
        !            19: only uses 8 bit characters in its internal representation.  Therefore,

        !            21: .I dipress
        !            22: must be able to map from 8 bit characters to 16 bit characters.  The
        !            23: work-around is based on the fact that
        !            24: .I makedev
        !            25: will ignore any text beyond the fourth data field in a font description file.
        !            26: If the typesetting code (the fourth field) is octal 0377 then
        !            27: .I makextdev
        !            28: expects a fifth field which contains the octal code
