GRASP font is a bitmap font format associated with the GRASP animation software. Some GRASP GL archive files contain one or more GRASP font files.

See GRASP GL for more information about GRASP, and related formats.

It appears that there is a second GRASP font format, that is significantly different from the one that is documented. We'll call the documented format "original format", and the other format "new format".

Format details

Original format

Files have a 7-byte header with no identifying signature, followed by the glyph bitmap data. See the Links section for documentation.

New format

A file possibly begins with 0x10, has a name at offset 1, and the file size at offset 25.
