    Fix bug with Ctrl-A output, switching from high to low intensity fg-colors

    I was wondering why the ANSI output looked different/better than the Ctrl-A output. This was the bug.

    Add support for block fonts

    This minor change appears to be all that was necessary to support block TheDraw Fonts, or at least, the example fonts that Nelgin sent me:

    TDFONTS1.TDF and TDFONTS2.TDF

    Outline fonts (e.g. TDFONTS0.TDF) appear to need more special handling still (e.g. the mapping of 'A' to 205, etc.).

    Add support for outline fonts (e.g. TDFONTS0.TDF)

    Using mapping from ASCII CP437 chars from https://www.roysac.com/blog/2014/04/thedraw-fonts-file-tdf-specifications/
    with the exception that the "Inside spaces" and "Filler for all leading
    spaces" are replaced with space rather than the 0xF7 and '@' characters.

    This includes the disabling of a warning message about a condition that is apparently normal with outline fonts.

    White-space changes only

    Ran this through js-beautify to replace all the indentation with tabs and it made a few brace changes.

    Re-enable the warning about "Exceed glyph call bounds"

    but only for non-outline fonts (just in case it's helpful with those)

    Add support for specifying an alternate font directory (-d option)

    Find/use any capitalization of *.tdf files in the font directory (not just *.tdf, lowercase).

    Fix off-by-one bug in random font file selection: random() returns a value between 0 and the argument value minus 1, so if you're selecting a random
    index into an array, just pass the array length (not array length plus one).

    Fix issue #1077

    Better font info output

    Index, when unspecified, is now 0, not 'undefined'.
    Prefix font name with 'name:' instead of 'font:'.

    Use "supported" intead of "char list" for supported chars printed.

    Part of fix for issue #1078
