Should we fix the ^F^C to ^F^F comment conversion in one fell swoop?

[nbriggs]

Pretty much every time a Lisp source file is edited there's a change in the font control characters from <ctrl>F<ctrl>C to <ctrl>F<ctrl>F -- should we do this conversion in one go, binary editing the source files outside Medley, so that in future the git diffs will not have this particular change scattered all through?

I think the change happened when Ron was editing sources with a different FONTSET.

Perhaps -- these are the files that have ^F^C comment font.

[nbriggs]

I have a branch ready to go if we decide it's worthwhile to do. Of course if there've been changes it might be outdated.

[nbriggs]

I'm still interested in doing this update.
