I don't like this idea because if front ends can detect non-existence of
glyphs, they could be doing some transliteration. In this case, replacing
the gylphs with "V" and ">".
I think a polygon plot is the best solution for now. We'll need to sort
out how we're going to do this stuff properly when it comes time to
implement HTML5 Canvas. One idea we've had is to use libnsfb to draw
canvas bitmaps, but anti-aliasing needs added to libnsfb.
