question: Font as byte arrays?

[WhyNotHugo]

Hi, I'm writing on very basic image generation, and want to render this font without using a font-parsing library and all that huge tree of dependencies.

Due to it's pixel-based nature, I'd want just byte arrays for each letter. Basically like this JSON from monocraft.

Do you think it's possible to export scientifica into something like this that can be converted into a byte array at build-time?

This is (sort of) the way I use it in FBInk (c.f., #33 (comment)).

I whipped up a quick'n dirty Python script that mangles BDF (well, HEX, via gbdfed) fonts into a format suitable for a renderer based on font8x8 ;).

Oh, that's very useful! The Pythons script is a very handy entry point, but also FBInk looks pretty useful for a future project I have in mind!
