bdfparser

Some font files I am working with have a blank line between the ENDPROPERTIES and CHARS lines, eg here.

This is breaking the Font import with the following:

>>> from bdfparser import Font
>>> font = Font('8x13.bdf')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/owen/BDFPARSER/bdfparser.py", line 92, in __init__
    self.load_file_path(arg)
  File "/home/owen/BDFPARSER/bdfparser.py", line 104, in load_file_path
    self.load_file_obj(file_obj)
  File "/home/owen/BDFPARSER/bdfparser.py", line 115, in load_file_obj
    self.__parse_headers()
  File "/home/owen/BDFPARSER/bdfparser.py", line 146, in __parse_headers
    self.__parse_props()
  File "/home/owen/BDFPARSER/bdfparser.py", line 222, in __parse_props
    self.__parse_glyph_count()
  File "/home/owen/BDFPARSER/bdfparser.py", line 243, in __parse_glyph_count
    if kvlist[0] == 'CHARS':
       ~~~~~~^^^
IndexError: list index out of range
>>> 

The fix here will ignore any empty lines between ENDPROPERTIES and the CHARS lines.

The examples I have also have additional empty lines in other sections; but these do not seem to affect the rest of the import.

I'm guessing a better solution may be to strip all empty lines from the file at import, but I did not pursue this.
