-.TH MBF 5
-.SH NAME
-mbf \- Monospaced Bitmap Font
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-A font file using the MBF format consists of a header, a list of ranges and a
-list of bitmaps.
-.PP
-The header, located at the very beginning of the file, is intended to identify
-it as a MBF font and specify the number of glyphs as well as the glyph
-dimensions.
-.PP
-.RS
-.nf
-struct Header {
-    char sig[4];            /* signature: "MBF\\x01" */
-    uint16_t nglyphs;       /* number of glyphs */
-    uint8_t width, height;  /* glyph dimensions */
-};
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-This header is followed by a range list. The list starts with a \fBuint16_t\fR
-number indicating how many ranges follow. each range is composed of two numbers,
-\fIoffset\fR and \fIlength\fR (both \fBuint16_t\fR). \fIoffset\fR is the code of
-the first character in the range. \fIlength\fR is the number of characters in
-the range. For example, the ASCII range is represented by the tuple (0, 128).
-Ranges must not overlap. Ranges must be sorted by ascending order of
-\fIoffset\fR values.
-.PP
-The list of ranges is followed by a list of \fInglyphs\fR bitmaps. Each bitmap
-has \fIheight\fR rows. The number of bytes per row is the minimum necessary to
-accomodate \fIwidth\fR bits (this number is known as the \fBstride\fR). Paddings
-go in the right (least significant) bits of the last byte in the row.
-.PP
-.RS
-.nf
-stride = ceil(width / 8)
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-Bitmaps must be sorted by ascending order of code point, so that they can be
-located by searching the range list.
-.SH NOTES
-MBF files store 16-bit numbers using the native byte order. For this reason,
-they are not portable accross machines of different endianess.
