+\par \pard\plain \ri-1050\widctlpar \f4\fs20\lang2057 
+The font encoding is compacted together with no bit alignement within each character, although each character will start on a byte boundary. Each section of encoding is preceeded by a count that specifies either the numbe
+r of times the next line will repeat or the number of non-repeating lines to read before another count is encountered. The count is stored in 5 bits, if the first is set the count is a count of non-repeating lines following, if the bit is clear the count 
+specifies the number of times to repeat the following line.

+). Then a repeat count of 3 followed the next 11 bits of picture data specifying the line to repeat ({\f11 .X.......X.}). Then again either a repeat of 1 or a non-repeat count of 1 followed by the picture data ({\f11 .XXXXXXXXX.}
+). Another repeat of 3 and the picture data ({\f11 .X.......X.}), and a repeat of non-repeat count of 1 and the final line of picture data ({\f11 XXX.....XXX}).
