Ok, I'll note someone needs to restructure this and likely rename the  
SophieFontEmphasisEncoder and the encoding instance variable name,
it's on my todo list, but likely not going to happen for many months.

What lead to the emphasis change was a need for something else than  
magic numbers to store emphasis information that comes from the font,  
such as narrow-condensed-light-italic...

The adding of VectorFont and altering how of the emphasis encoding  
was done, and the required rebuilding, likely resulted in the  
walkback, and was a er *source of discussion* within the Sophie team  
when I whacked them with it last fall, as you see it's a bit better,  
still not perfect yet.
