Fonts: Group in Subfolders + Add Preview Images

[tajmone]

• Group fonts in subfolders to reduce quantity of fonts per folder.
• Create fonts preview images.

Grouping fonts

There are too many fonts in the image-fonts/ and bmf-fonts/ directories. They should grouped in folders by the first letter of the font name. The problem is that many font files are just named as numbers.

For the BMF fonts, it should be possible to extract their name from the font metadata, with some dedicated tool.

Many image fonts from the Guldkrans’s collection were originally named with numbers, apparently, so I'll have to find another criteria to sort them in subfolders.

Fonts previews

I need to find (or create) a tool to automatically create an image preview of each BMF font, possibly using the font metadata to add its name to the image too, along with a specimen of the font characters, digits and symbols.
