## 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.
