[Therion] Height numbers in square boxes

[Andrew Atkinson]

Yes that is probably possible, however, using a defined symbol for
something else is probably not the right answer. Therion allows you to
define your own points.

point u:xxxx where xxxx is the name of a user defined symbol that you have
defined or referenced in a layout.

The actual definition seems to be beyond me at the moment, let me sleep on
it, but hopefully a more skillful person will have the answer.
