EDF font reference

The font is defined in EDF as follows:

font name
{
  id             number
  start          text
  end            text
  linesize       number
  spacesize      number
  widthdelta     number
  tallestchar    number
  centerwidth    number
  linearformat   text
  linearlump     identifier
  filter         block
  colorable      boolean
  uppercase      boolean
  blockcentered  boolean
  patchnumoffset integer
}

Font names have maximum 128 characters.

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 font, and fields are the same fields as in a font's definition. Only include the fields you intend to modify over the original font.
