var parse = require('parse-bmfont-binary')

fs.readFile('fonts/Lato.bin', function(err, data) {
  if (err) throw err
  var font = parse(data)
  
  //do something with your font
  console.log(font.info.face)
  console.log(font.info.size)
  console.log(font.common.lineHeight)
  console.log(font.chars)
  console.log(font.kernings)
})
```
