This program reads in a text file consisting of feature samples from a training page in the following format:

   FontName UTF8-char-str xmin ymin xmax ymax page-number
    NumberOfFeatureTypes(N)
      FeatureTypeName1 NumberOfFeatures(M)
         Feature1
         ...
         FeatureM
      FeatureTypeName2 NumberOfFeatures(M)
