For the record, in FIGfonts the glyphs are labeled by their Unicode
character number (no complex shaping in FIGlet), and the glyph labeled
U+0000 is the no-definition glyph. If there is none, a zero-width
glyph is used instead. This glyph is *never* the first glyph, since
the first 103 glyphs are prescribed.
