Yes, but we've overridden the glyph lookup to use strings 
from external fonts.  There's no need to define glyphs at 
all except to suppress this warning.  It's there because 
some redundant code is still being executed.  If we knew the 
right plumbing we wouldn't need them at all, and should be 
able to leave the X- and Y-extents implicit.  But this is 
the current state of the art.
