Praveen each character is stored as two bytes so if the characters are
ascii, you will have the 1 byte character followed by a '/0'. To get the
each character you need to use LittleEndian.getShort then cast to a
character. There should be two '/0' at the end of each font name.
If you have to go 2 characters back, it means you miscalculated the
offset.
You need to make sure you figure out why you miscalculated the offset and
correct this.
