   @brief unifont1per - Read a Unifont .hex file from standard input and
          produce one glyph per ".bmp" bitmap file as output
 
   @author Paul Hardy, unifoundry <at> unifoundry.com, December 2016
   
   @copyright Copyright (C) 2016, 2017 Paul Hardy
 
   Each glyph is 16 pixels tall, and can be 8, 16, 24,
   or 32 pixels wide.  The width of each output graphic
   file is determined automatically by the width of each
   Unifont hex representation.
 
   This program creates files of the form "U+<codepoint>.bmp", 1 per glyph.

/*
   11 May 2019 [Paul Hardy]:
      - Changed sprintf function call to snprintf for writing
    "filename" character string.
      - Defined MAXFILENAME to hold size of "filename" array
    for snprintf function call.
 
   6 September 2025 [Paul Hardy]:
      - Changed code_point and nextbyte from "int" to "unsigned" for
        compatibility with sscanf definition.
