Warp9 Font file format

Warp9 Font    *.FNT

The font format defines characters 0-255.
Each character is stored as 16 bytes, one byte for each row in the character. 
Characters are rendered as 8x16 pixels, thus 16 * 256 = 4096 bytes.

4096 bytes    character data
1 word        half height flag [0 = not allowed, 1 = allowed]
----------
4098 bytes    total for file
