The picture format is a fixed size (both on disk and on screen). The
font files are variable - I assume that there must be a header in the
font file saying what is the height of the font, and the width of each
character.

It would probably not be too hard to work out where that info lives in
the file, just time consuming, so if you were able to find your specs
I'd be happy.
