 Beware of '''patchnumoffset'''. If set, then you need to subtract it from the real ASCII value, to get the value in the lump name.

	\|\|'''~~blockcentered~~'''\|\|~~Whether characters are centered in position~~.		\|\|'''patchnumoffset'''\|\|An optional value to subtract from a character's ASCII value to determine the name that gets into the lump name. Applies only with '''filter''', not '''linearlump'''.

			filter { chars { ''list_of_characters'' }; mask ''format'' }
			or
			filter { start ''character''; end ''character''; mask ''format'' }
			depending on whether you want to filter for specific characters, or for a range. For the <code>chars</code> list, you put the components with commas (<code>,</code>) in-between. Each character can be expressed as a literal one, or as an ASCII value.

			<code>mask</code> is the name of the lump, with placeholder for the given character. Each placeholder can look like the following:
			*<code>%.3d</code>: ASCII number padded by up to three zeros. You can put other values instead of 3.
			*<code>%c</code>: the character itself.
			*<code>%i</code>: ASCII number, not padded.
			*<code>%02X</code>: ASCII number encoded in hexadecimal (base 16 number, with A, B, C, D, E, F representing 10-15). This one is padded with up to two zeros. You can put other values instead of 2.
			You can also choose not to put any placeholder if you have an exact lump name.

			Beware of '''patchnumoffset'''. If set, then you need to subtract it from the real ASCII value, to get the value in the lump name.

			A font delta structure is available, allowing you to modify an already defined font. Its definition is:

			fontdelta
			{
			name ''font_name''
			''fields''
			}

			where ''font_name'' is the name of a previously fully defined <code>font</code>, and ''fields'' are the same fields as in a <code>font</code>'s definition. Only include the fields you intend to modify over the original font.
