Detailed Description

The bitmap font container, GFXfont, byte-for-byte Adafruit_GFX's.

This is deliberately, byte-for-byte, Adafruit_GFX's gfxfont.h layout, down to the include guard. Two consequences, both wanted:

1. Every font header ever generated by Adafruit's fontconvert - the whole Fonts/ directory of Adafruit_GFX, and the hundreds of converted fonts floating around - drops straight into gfx_setFont() with no translation.
2. Fonts shipped with CHGfx work unchanged under Adafruit_GFX's own setFont(), including through CHGfx_AdafruitGFX.h.

The shared _GFXFONT_H_ guard means whichever header is included first defines the types and the other one steps aside. That only works because the definitions match, so do not "improve" the field order.

CHGfx.h includes it; a sketch never needs to. The bundled fonts are listed under Fonts.
