maybe FntDefineFont() makes a copy of it? :)
as for calling DmReleaseResource - it is not required. there has
been discussion on this in palm-dev-forum recently. while it may
be good programming practice to use it, all the API call does is
{ } (ie: nothing), and, its a waste of 4 bytes in your binary :)

// missing character
GLYPH -1

or as you wish. the -1 glyph must be last and, it defines the
missing character. :) if you looked up the examples that are
available, you'd see this works.
the above glyph is all you need inside the font file.
hint: pilrc example (inside pilrc download)
