Last week I started to define a Type 1 Font according to the
description in the black book. One of the characters I'm about
to describe has a small white line within an otherwise black area
(small meaning currently 12 units in font space coordinates).
This white line tends to disappear if I scale the font to some
standard font size (say 10 pt). Is there any possibility to
hint the font machinery to leave this line white even in
low resolutions (I mean something similar to the ForceBold entry)?

BTW, what do the LanguageGroup (or RndStemUp) entries really do?

Thanks for any help,
