"""bdf2gfx.py — convert a BDF bitmap font to an Adafruit-GFX header in the
LemonFont.h layout: a *contiguous* glyph table over [FIRST, LAST], with empty
placeholder glyphs for codepoints the BDF doesn't define, so the renderer can
index by `cp - first`. Recreates the lost bdf2lemon.py.

Usage: bdf2gfx.py <font.bdf> <first_hex> <last_hex> <VarPrefix> > out.h
