+This is a helper script to aid in the mass positioning of font glyphs.

+The positioning of the glyph within the image is very important now that the
+draws from the idividual glyph images.
+
+The script helps calulate a baseline (the line that capital letters rest upon
+when positioned as desired) and then positions most glyphs relative to that.
+
+There's an option to preview the glyph positionings by exporting a font strip,
+as well as exporting all the new repositioned glyph images to the disk.
