+-- Load the characters map (characters.txt)
+--[[ File format of characters.txt:
+It's an UTF-8 encoded text file that contains metadata for all supported characters. It contains a sequence of info blocks, one for each character. Each info block is made out of 3 lines:
+Line 1: The literal UTF-8 encoded character
+Line 2: Name of the texture file for this character minus the “.png” suffix; found in the “textures/” sub-directory
+Line 3: Currently ignored. Previously this was for the character width in pixels
+
+After line 3, another info block may follow. This repeats until the end of the file.
+
+All character files must be 5 or 6 pixels wide (5 pixels are preferred)
