/*
* Unifont: On-disk data
* Conventional font-formats have the problem that you have to pre-render each
* glyph before you can use it. If you just need one glyph, you have to parse
* the font-file until you found that glyph.
* GNU-Unifont is a bitmap font with very good Unicode coverage. All glyphs are
* (n*8)x16 bitmaps. Our on-disk data stores all those glyphs pre-compiled with
* fixed offsets. Therefore, the font-file can be mmap()ed and all glyphs can
* be accessed in O(1) (because all glyphs have the same size and thus their
* offsets can be easily computed). This guarantees, that the kernel only loads
* the pages that are really accessed. Thus, we have a far lower overhead than
* traditional font-formats like BDF. Furthermore, the backing file is read-only
* and can be shared in memory between multiple users.
*
* The binary-format starts with a fixed header:
*
* | 2bytes | 2bytes | 2bytes | 2bytes |
*
* +-----------------------------------+
* | SIGNATURE | 8 bytes
* +-----------------+-----------------+
* | COMPAT FLAGS | INCOMPAT FLAGS | 8 bytes
* +-----------------+--------+--------+
* | HEADER SIZE |GH-SIZE |G-STRIDE| 8 bytes
* +-----------------+--------+--------+
* | GLYPH BODY SIZE | 8 bytes
* +-----------------------------------+
*
* * The 8 bytes signature must be set to the ASCII string "DVDHRMUF".
* * The 4 bytes compatible-flags field contains flags for new features that
* might be added in the future and which are compatible to older parsers.
* * The 4 bytes incompatible-flags field contains flags for new features that
* might be added in the future and which are incompatible to old parses.
* Thus, if you encounter an unknown bit set, you must abort!
* * The 4 bytes header-size field contains the size of the header in bytes. It
* must be at least 32 (the size of this fixed header). If new features are
* added, it might be increased. It can also be used to add padding to the
* end of the header.
* * The 2 bytes glyph-header-size field specifies the size of each glyph
* header in bytes (see below).
* * The 2 bytes glyph-stride field specifies the stride of each line of glyph
* data in "bytes per line".
* * The 8 byte glyph-body-size field defines the size of each glyph body in
* bytes.
*
* After the header, the file can contain padding bytes, depending on the
* header-size field. Everything beyond the header+padding is treated as a big
* array of glyphs. Each glyph looks like this:
*
* | 1 byte |
*
* +-----------------------------------+
* | WIDTH | 1 byte
* +-----------------------------------+
* ~ PADDING ~
* +-----------------------------------+
* ~ ~
* ~ ~
* ~ DATA ~
* ~ ~
* ~ ~
* +-----------------------------------+
*
* * The first byte specifies the width of the glyph. If it is 0, the glyph
* must be treated as non-existant.
* All glyphs are "8*n" pixels wide and "16" pixels high. The width-field
* specifies the width multiplier "n".
* * After the width field padding might be added. This depends on the global
* glyph-header-size field. It defines the total size of each glyph-header.
* After the glyph-header+padding, the data-field starts.
* * The data-field contains a byte-array of bitmap data. The array is always
* as big as specified in the global glyph-body-size header field. This might
* include padding.
* The array contains all 16 lines of bitmap information for that glyph. The
* stride is given in the global glyph-stride header field. This can be used
* to add padding after each line.
* Each line is encoded as 1 bit per pixel bitmap. That is, each byte encodes
* data for 8 pixels (left most pixel is encoded in the LSB, right most pixel
* in the MSB). The width field defines the number of bytes valid per line.
* For width==1, you need 1 byte to encode the 8 pixels. The stride defines
* where the encoding of the next line starts.
* Any data beyond the 16th line is padding and must be ignored.
