Support for APL characters #114

Hello!

I've been looking for a nice monospaced font to use for some projects (which I intend to release under the GPL license), but I need to use APL glyphs as well, (most of) which reside on the Miscellaneous Technical unicode page (and I must also admit that some symbols that are not APL, but are a part of this page, would be welcome...).

The closest I got is the well-known APL385 font (easy to find on the web to download free of charge), which has all the needed characters, and would be perfect if it had a bold version. Sadly, the font won't render nicely on some browsers with simulated bold, which is wider than the regular character size and breaks the monospace... 😞

Any chance to get the APL symbols on this font?

(By the way, some fonts were made with such symbols by authors that were not familiar with the language, so they might look unfamiliar. The APL385 font would be the best reference, as it has all the needed symbols and all of them look familiar and nice to APL programmers, and indeed is usually the preferred font.)
