/* The font rasterizer takes a standard font and converts it into a bitmap
 * embeddable font. In other words, it takes a .ttf in and outputs a .c/.h pair.
 *
 * It can also print a PNG file showing how each glyph has been rendered.
*
 * Usage: rasterizer font_name glyph_width glyph_height
 * -> Generates a .png image with the font rasterized
 * -> Generates a .c file with the content of the font */
