Loading a Font

Fonts, when working with VTerminal, consist of a PNG and FNT file. The PNG is a large sprite sheet containing every character of the font and the FNT file describes the position of each character in the PNG. When loading a font, VTerminal requires both files along with a scale value that can be used to resize the font as it is loaded.

Each of the following functions, of the FontLoader class, can be used to load a font.
