Line 65: "FONTBOUNDINGBOX 16 16 0 -2" defines a bounding box for the font of 16 pixels wide by 16 pixels high, with the lower left-hand corner starting at x=0, y=-2. Note that although the bounding box is defined to be a 16 by 16 cell, this can be overridden for individual glyphs. The "A" glyph, for example, is only 8 pixels wide. "STARTPROPERTIES 2" declares that two special properties will follow. "STARTPROPERTIES" is optional in the BDF specification. X-Windows ~~allos~~allows the properties FONT_ASCENT and FONT_DESCENT to show the height above and below the baseline, respectively, for all glyphs. "FONT_ASCENT 14" declares that 14 of the 16 pixels in height are above the baseline. "FONT_DESCENT 2" declares that 2 of the 16 pixels in height are below the baseline. "ENDPROPERTIES" appears at the end of the "STARTPROPERTIES" section. "CHARS 1" declares that one character will follow. Although Adobe now refers to this file format as the Glyph BDF, they have retained the keyword "CHARS" in the final version of the specification.
