claude 6b10c4a57c bitmap-font-maker: fontc - .font glyph grids -> atlas PNG + metrics JSON + text rendering
- .font format: glyph sections with #/. grids, proportional widths,
  literal unicode glyph names, spacing/space-width/line-height/baseline
- build (atlas white-on-transparent + JSON metrics), render (text -> PNG
  with \n, scale, color), info, preview (terminal half-blocks)
- example tiny5 font: A-Z, ÅÄÖ, 0-9, punctuation (47 glyphs, 3x5)
- go tests: parsing, errors, atlas metrics, text rendering
