File format
- 4 byte (magic)
- 4 byte (length prefix for following string)
- zero-terminated string with given buffer length (font-name)
- GLYPHSET (List of supported glyphs)
- For each cGlyphsSupported:
- GLYPHMETRICSFLOAT (Metrics for each glyph)
- 4 byte (Offset of glyph in file)
- For each GLYPHSET range
- For each glyph in this range
- 2 byte (Index count)
- 2 byte (Vertex count)
- For each index:
- 2 byte (Vertex index)
- For each vertex:
- 4 byte float (X-coordinate)
- 4 byte float (Y-coordinate)
- For each glyph in this range
The mesh data is stored as triangle list. 3 indices per triangle.
