<Continuation data for Intellifont scalable contour data>
<Compound character data of Intellifont scalable font>
Format (UB)
Continuation (B) - signifies whether the character data represents a new character (0) or is a continuation of
the character described by the previous character descriptor block and its data (non-zero). If the continuation
byte is non-zero the bytes following it are interpreted as character data.
Descriptor size (UB) - specifies the character descriptor size in bytes.
Class (UB) . indicates the character format.
Contour data size (UI) - specifies the contour data size.
Metric Data offset (SI) - relative to the address of the contour data size field.
Contour Tree Offset (SI) -relative to the address of the contour data size field.
XY Data Offset (SI) -relative to the address of the contour data size field.

XY Coordinate Data
Checksum - this value is placed at the end of the character data.
Compound character escapement (SI)
Piled character number (UB)
Piled character list - includes some piled characters. Each of them is 6 bytes.
