Pong :-P

I haven't forgotten this patch. However, I have no clue what the original
"server crashes on 0x0 glyphs" bug is about nor if we want to keep the
work-around for that. My hope is that the almighty Chris could help us here.

Also, I would like to see a test case for this. Dunno if that would need
user-fonts or if it could be done via drawing " "...

Cheers,
Uli
