			Except a few fonts (i.e., in the Mason and Carleton families) incorporate 512 x 512 bitmaps. Currently, for these you must use the REF format as input. A REF file (since refont v2.5) can indicate that any particular shaderName contained within is 512 x 512 by a header line:
			# bitmap_<n>_size=512
			where <n> is 0 to 9, and refers to shaders present in the REF file with names like, e.g., carleton_3_48.tga; n would be 3 for this.

This provides good contrast if, in GIMP, you prefer to turn on grid lines, which are black. However, a transparent background option is provided in case you want to also see the glyphs and metrics superimposed, as discussed next.

			===Scaling_ok Option===
			This option (also found in refont) suppresses console warnings when per-character scaling is present, e.g., for the Mason font.

			===Raw_metrics Option===
			This option might be of occasional diagnostic interest for fonts with scaling, including large bitmaps (e.g., Carleton and Mason).

			Ordinarily, a bounding box is drawn at {coord_s, coord_t, coord_s2, coord_t2}. Conversely, '''not''' drawn is a box representing the render-target dimensions, given by metrics imageWidth and imageHeight. Most often, the sizes of these two boxes are the same. If not, horizontal and/or vertical scaling factors (i.e., other than 1.0) can be derived. In that case, the other drawn items (pitchline, baseline [from "top"], xSkip) are routinely placed using such scaling.

			If you specify this option, the bounding box is instead shown with imageWidth and imageHeight dimensions, arbitrarily with upper-left origin at {coord_s, coord_t). As before, the other drawn items (pitchline, baseline, and xSkip) are placed relative to the origin, but now at unscaled distances given directly by REF/DAT/FTN numeric values.

	s_coord + pitch + xSkip		s_coord + pitch + xSkip

			===Long_baseline_left Option===
			Ordinarily, drawing of the horizontal baseline starts at the vertical pitch line. The "-long_baseline_left" option moves the start leftward, to begin at the left boundary given by coord_s. (Actually, from the leftmost of the pitchline and the left boundary.)

			===Long_baseline_right Option===
			Ordinarily, the horizontal baseline ends at the right boundary given by coord_s2 - 1. The "-long_baseline_right" option extends it to abut the xSkip red dot instead. (Actually, to the rightmost of the right boundary and the red dot.)

			These "long baseline" options are most useful with odd fonts that use unusual pitch values, e.g., Medusa, that has the pitch line to the right of the character glyph instead of the left.

			===Long_pitchline_down Option===
			Ordinarily, the vertical pitch line travels downward to the lower boundary given by coord_t2 - 1. The "-long_pitchline_down" option extends it downward to the baseline given by coord_t + top. (Actually, to the lower of the baseline and lower boundary.) This can be helpful particularly for certain punctuation characters, that with many fonts have tight bounding boxes with baselines far below.

			===Boundless Option===
			The "-boundless" option suppresses drawing of the multicolor outer bounds. Its main use is paired with the "-tag" option, to generate tag-only .tga files for GIMP layers.

	===From & To: Codepoint Range Options===		===From & To: Codepoint Range Options===
	These accept decimal or two-digit hex numbers (the latter preceded by "0x"). If both "~~From~~" and "To" are given, the value of "To" should be greater than or equal to "~~From~~". These options can be helpful to reduce the complexity of visualization with densely overlapping bounding boxes.		These accept decimal or two-digit hex numbers (the latter preceded by "0x").

	This snapshot shows a few early changes towards font completion for TDM 2.13. So, for instance, the N in row 4 now has a tilde above it. Note how N and Ñ have overlapping bounds, allowing them to share the base letter but not the accent. This is common with hand-done font bitmaps to conserve bitmap real estate.

(Subsequent to this image, the two bitmaps, further revised, were renamed to be more apt, as "_0_ Mostly ASCII" and "_1_ Mostly ANSI".)
