The value should be `nil' or a vector of glyph values (*note
Glyphs::). If an element is `nil', it says to display that
character
according to the usual display conventions (*note Usual Display::).
Nowhere is it defined what a "glyph VALUE" is.
A "glyph value" is just a value which is interpreted as a glyph. You
must be prepared to interpret such words in their ordinary English
meanings.
I have tried clarifying the text; maybe you will like the new version
better.
