flf2a$ 6 6 30 0 22
Explanation of first line:                            *** GoofY 0.1 ***
flf2a - necessary stuff to identify the kind of file
$     - the "hardblank" -- prints as a blank, but can't be smushed
6     - height of a character
6     - height of a character, not including descenders
30    - max line length (excluding comment lines) + a fudge factor
0     - put characters together, no smushing or whatever, please!
22    - number of comment lines (starting with the 'Explanation' line)

This font is NOT designed to be used for clear, long text!
