Alberto García Hierro 686e1dcdd1 [FONTS] Add font metadata and simplify the font build process
Instead of using a Makefile with multiple arguments that must be
passed via the command line, replace it with a newer version of
max7456tool that allows managing a set of fonts with a single
yaml configuration file.

OSD Font Files

This directory contains one directory per font. In each directory, each character is named %d%d%d.png, where the digits represent the decimal character number found in the filename without the extension.

Don't alter the .mcm files directly, those should be only modified by altering the .png files found in its correspondant font directory.

Character map files (.mcm) are built from the .png files in each directory representing the font, using max7456toool.

After changing any source .png files, run:

max7456tool -f generate fonts.yaml

to update the .mcm files.

Note that .mcm files MUST be manually regenerated with the aforementioned command, added and committed to the repo, while preview .png files (the ones contained directly in this directory, not the ones in the source subdirectories) MUST NOT, they're generated only for convenience to quickly review fonts at a glance (.gitignore is set up to ignore them to help avoid mistakes).

To add a new font, create its directory with source .png files, add it to the list in fonts.yaml and rerun max7456tool to regenerate the .mcm.
