Fair enough, and glad you caught me before I pulled the necessary glyphs out 
of the font and put them into more accessible places in some new font.  
(FontForge has gotten rather good though, I must say.)

After pondering on it for about a day, so do I.  In many ways it's just coming 
back to the stupid looking "glow" that we're trying to get rid of in the 
first place, but at least the translucent border lets it take on a tint of 
whatever the background color is.  I think it will look less stupid than a 
less orderly glow that's gray-weighted, but maybe there's an even better idea 
waiting to be discovered.  I'm less in love with the whole notion the morning 
after though.
