'Big Endian Prebuilt Font'

It's a file that contains a pre-rasterized (and possibly
hand-tuned) set of bitmaps (in several sizes) that Display
PostScript can use to render specific sizes of a typeface
to the screen faster.

Their presence is not strictly necessary, and they can
be removed if you need the space.
