Fixed a bug in the calculation of the font bounding box with matching change to the seven segment font definition. This showed in Windows by the font being clipped at the baseline instead of allowing the descenders in the comman and colon to show. check-in: 76c607c341 user: Ross tags: trunk

First cut at separating the font description out of the dotfonter tool. Font descriptions are now in .dotfont files, which are syntactically just Lua. The seven segment font is added to the source kit as a sample. check-in: 4dd7982320 user: Ross tags: trunk
