hex2sfd: give PANOSE appropriate for a monospaced font.
In particular, set digit 4 (Proportion) to 9 (Monospaced).
(This is required to use the font with PuTTy on Windows, and most likely
in some other programs as well.)

Hi. It seems that MS Windows considers a font to be monospaced if and only if the Proportion digit (digit 4) of the Panose number is set to 9 (Monospaced). This means that applications like PuTTY won't allow Unifont to be selected unless this digit is set such; could you include this change in the official distributions (and maybe even start using this bzr repository I made to store the in-progress source)?
