-If you're willing to do VF's anyway, they
-just have to go into a separate font; annoying for the designer,
-irrelevant to the user.

Actually, VF can't help here. TeX doesn't know diddly about VF so
all it sees is a 256 character (possibly virtual, who knows?)
font. Every character to be used in the font has to appear at
_some_ character code. I know the first character to go will be
that dopey little zero for building per-mil.
