I like them as dots.

Currently, the alignment of fringe bitmaps can be bottom, center or top.

Maybe would could add something like (- baseline 2) to the alignment

Well, if you have fringes narrower than 8 bits, you'll get truncation.

Maybe we should have a separate set of bitmaps for, say, 6 bit wide fringes.
