A type 3 font is a 16-bit font with character codes downloaded according to some native map-
ping (for example, Shift-JIS, JIS208, etc.). This native mapping allows the font to be used as a
stand-alone font, or it can be bound to another symbol set and then used.

The style MSB (byte 4) is combined with the style LSB (byte 23) to make the style word, which
is calculated from the partial sums for posture, width, and structure. The binary structure of the
style word is shown below.
