Name

font - Bitmap Font File format (.font)

Synopsis

Font files contain bitmap definitions of fonts (Gfx::BitmapFont).

Description

Bitmap fonts can be either varying-width or fixed-width. The first four bytes of font files contain the filemagic: !Fnt (0x21466e74).

In addition, Gfx::BitmapFont supports reading from and writing to font files (as well as reading directly from memory) and the question mark '?' used as a fallback for unknown glyphs or emojis.

Structure

The order is big-endian.
