[Squeakland] Editing glyphs in paragraphs

  I believe that Ned did an experimental version based on his arrow
glyph editor for Alan's demo.  I saw the demo, but it is not in the
official Squeakland or Etoys image.

  Yes, I'm actually surprised that editting doesn't work (I was
assuming it does).  If we fix the editting work, and create a special
kind of text morph that shows halo for individual characters, and fix
the editor so that it can store the editted glyph into the TTCFont,
the demo can be revived.  (Or, of course we could ask Ned to fix it!)
