That's not quite correct. In fact, the central dot belongs to lat9w-16 and 
the diagonal bar belongs to default8x16.

I found that there aren't too many different types after all, and after 
trying all the ones that look likely, I find they all have this artificial 
device to distinguish 0 from O.

That too is wrong - 0 and O look identical in konsole.

Sorry about the confusion.
