There is a compilation-flag (CHRFONT) that allows you to compile the game in
such a way that you can define your own character-icon. Do this;
i) Ask the local DM to recompile the game with that flag.
ii) Create 4 bitmaps (24x24) for left, right, up and down.
iii) Create a bmaps-file (look at the bmaps-file for the fonts).
iv) Run this through xbmtobdf to generate a bdf-file.
v) Run the bdf-file through bdftosnf to get a snf-file.
vi) Move this to the font-dir for crossfire.
vii) Run a mkfontdir on the directory.
viii) Do 'xset fp rehash' to tell X about the new font.
ix) Run crossfire with the -chrfont <fontname> option.
NOTE: If you play sessions with other players, they will have to update their
font-paths as well.
