NAME

       Font::TTF::Glyf - The Glyf data table

DESCRIPTION

       This is a stub table. The real data is held in the loca table. If you want to get a glyf look it up in the loca table as
       "$f-"{'loca'}{'glyphs'}[$num]>. It will not be here!

       The difference between reading this table as opposed to the loca table is that reading this table will cause updated glyphs to be written
       out rather than just copying the glyph information from the input file. This causes font writing to be slower. So read the glyf as opposed
       to the loca table if you want to change glyf data. Read the loca table only if you are just wanting to read the glyf information.

       This class is used when writing the glyphs though.

METHODS

   $t->read
       Reads the "loca" table instead!

   $t->out($fh)
       Writes out all the glyphs in the parent's location table, calculating a new output location for each one.

   $t->out_xml($context, $depth)
       Outputs all the glyphs in the glyph table just where they are supposed to be output!

   $t->XML_start($context, $tag, %attrs)
       Pass control to glyphs as they occur

   $t->XML_end($context, $tag, %attrs)
       Collect up glyphs and put them into the loca table

BUGS

       None known

NAME

       Font::TTF::Post - Holds the Postscript names for each glyph

DESCRIPTION

       Holds the postscript names for glyphs. Note that they are not held as an array, but as indexes into two lists. The first list is the
       standard Postscript name list defined by the TrueType standard. The second comes from the font directly.

       Looking up a glyph from a Postscript name or a name from a glyph number is achieved through methods rather than variable lookup.

       This class handles PostScript table types of 1, 2, 2.5 & 3, but not version 4.  Support for version 2.5 is as per Apple spec rather than
       MS.

       The way to look up Postscript names or glyphs is:

	   $pname = $f->{'post'}{'VAL'}[$gnum];
	   $gnum = $f->{'post'}{'STRINGS'}{$pname};

INSTANCE VARIABLES

       Due to different systems having different limitations, there are various class variables available to control what post table types can be
       written.

       $Font::TTF::Post::no25
	   If set tells Font::TTF::Post::out to use table type 2 instead of 2.5 in case apps cannot handle version 2.5.

       VAL Contains an array indexed by glyph number of Postscript names. This is used when writing out a font.

       STRINGS
	   An associative array of Postscript names mapping to the highest glyph with that name. These may not be in sync with VAL.

       In addition there are the standard introductory variables defined in the standard:

	   FormatType
	   italicAngle
	   underlinePosition
	   underlineThickness
	   isFixedPitch
	   minMemType42
	   maxMemType42
	   minMemType1
	   maxMemType1

METHODS

   $t->read
       Reads the Postscript table into memory from disk

   $t->out($fh)
       Writes out a new Postscript name table from memory or copies from disk

   $t->XML_element($context, $depth, $key, $val)
       Outputs the names as one block of XML

BUGS

       o   No support for type 4 tables
