This option indicates that character bearings and sizes should be printed.
This option indicates that character glyph bitmaps should be printed.
This option indicates that the bit order of the font is MSBFirst (most significant bit first).
This option indicates that the bit order of the font is LSBFirst (least significant bit first).
This option indicates that the byte order of the font is MSBFirst (most significant byte first).
This option indicates that the byte order of the font is LSBFirst (least significant byte first).
This option specifies the glyph padding of the font (# is a number).
