//: The Pixmap font resource.
// This is the font resource type. It is used load CL_Font resources from
// a datafile.
// <br>
// The resource system in ClanLib understand two types of fonts. An
// deprecated font system orignally developed in 1994 - designed to be used
// with Deluxe Paint IIe .pcx files. This is obsolete, and shouldn't be used
// anymore. We only mention it here so that you won't get confused, if you
// notice how some ClanLib demo application use strange lines using the
// three last colors in the palette to cut out the letters in the font.
// <br>
// The new alpha based font system uses a much easier way to cut out the
// letters in the font. It uses the alpha value in the image to detect where
// a letter ends, and a new one begins. Simply divide the letters by a
// horizontal line of transparent pixels.
// <br>
// Have a look at this address for an example:
