I have to finish a quick & dirty font program in the next few days.  The
program has to pick out certain characters from an existing font in a certain
order and save them under a new name.

1.	How do I write out a font file given the TextFont structure in memory?
	Say I change around a few characters in Diamond and want to resave the
	font on disk...  It begins with a 3F3 which means it is some kind of
	load module?  No comprendo.

2.	What is the difference between XSize and charBitWidth?

3.	What do CharSpace and CharKern REALLY mean?  Given a certain
	charBitWidth and CharSpace CharKern,
		(a) how many bits are stored in the bitmap?
		(b) how many bits are displayed?

Your help is GREATLY appreciated.
