Could you convert an amiga bitmap font to this format and send it to
me? I will try if the freetype library can read it.

  "The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to
   constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every

   statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This
   also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi
   change."
