This is how far I got.  Unfortunately, Mark's documentation is all
about how to use the font library.  He doesn't say squat about what
the file format it.  I even started looking at the code, but there's
no format documentation to be found there either.  Reverse engineering
the format based on the parser source code isn't my idea of a fun
hack.

I'd submit that this lack of documentation has a lot to do with why
all of the existing glut fonts look so terrible.  The only software
that generates them works with X11 bitmap fonts.
