Don't know what to tell ya (beyond pinging Simon for his opinion) but this
certainly doesn't sound right (as if you didn't know that :-)  My very
wild guess is the ETO_GLYPH_INDEX needs to be used and you might be doing
something wrong (mail your current patch to Simon for a quickie inspection).

Keep at it and don't give up.
