-Such fonts files begin with a nil-byte.
+Such fonts files begin with a nil-byte. The next byte contains a value in range from one to three. These two bytes correspond to the version of the font file.

+Then the file size is stored as a 4 byte little endian value. Since a font can contain a maximum of 255 characters and a few bytes are required per character description, this size is usually in the thousands. Since the file header alone is more than 100 bytes, the size of a theoretically minimal FNT file with only one character is larger than 100.

 '''FNT''' is a mostly-obsolete bitmap or stroked (vector) font format associated with Microsoft Windows. FNT-format fonts are most commonly found inside [[Windows resource|resources]] of [[New Executable]] (sometimes [[Portable Executable]]) files, particularly in dedicated [[FON]] (<code>.fon</code>) files. They may also appear standalone (without a container), where they have the extension <code>.fnt</code>.
