         bit 00  proportionally spaced.

         (This entry always has all bits set to 0 for printers and plotters.)

5        Number of characters.  For printers and plotters, this is the number
         of fonts * 128.

6        Character baseline.  For printers and plotters, no text alignment is
         allowed and this value is always -1.

7        Character capsline.  For printers and plotters, no text alignment is
         allowed and this value is always -1.

8        Character width.  For printers and plotters, the character width is
         given in pixels.  For a proportionally spaced font, the width value
         represents the maximum width allowed.

9        Character height.  For printers and plotters, the character height is
         given in pixels.

10       Underscore top line.  For printers and plotters, underscoring is not
         available and this value is always -1.
