An array of Font Glyphs for rendering the large text. Each character is represented by a 16x16 bitmap of up to six colors (including transparency), using one byte per pixel (256 bytes per character). These color indexes are remapped to different parts of the palette in use at run time (so text using this font may appear in many different shades or colors).
