The format is (for some unknown reason) the uuencoded raw font data. 
Raw font data is just 16, 14, or 8 bytes per character, starting with
ascii 0.  It's a pretty easy format to work with, since characters are
8 pixels wide, which lets you put one scanline per byte in the
datafile.

My favorite font editor is an old DOS program called "Font Mania!". 
The only place I can find it anymore is
http://zzt.org/zgames/1a_zutils/fm.zip 

Check Simtelnet for more.  In the msdos/screen/ section, there are
around 20 editors and probably over 300 fonts.
