Hanzi Bitmap Font (HBF) File Format version 1.1

In a bitmap font for Chinese or a number of other languages, each character takes up the same amount of space, so such fonts are often provided as binary files containing only bitmaps. An HBF file is a human-readable text file describing a font of this type, and thus providing a uniform interface.
