-=head1 NAME
-
-Font::TTF::Font - Memory representation of a font
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-Here is the regression test (you provide your own font). Run it once and then
-again on the output of the first run. There should be no differences between
-the outputs of the two runs.
-
- $f = Font::TTF::Font->open($ARGV[0]);
-
- # force a read of all the tables
- $f->tables_do(sub { $_[0]->read; });
-
- # force read of all glyphs (use read_dat to use lots of memory!)
- # $f->{'loca'}->glyphs_do(sub { $_[0]->read; });
- $f->{'loca'}->glyphs_do(sub { $_[0]->read_dat; });
- # NB. no need to $g->update since $f->{'glyf'}->out will do it for us
-
- $f->out($ARGV[1]);
- $f->release; # clear up memory forcefully!
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-A Truetype font consists of a header containing a directory of tables which
-constitute the rest of the file. This class holds that header and directory and
-also creates objects of the appropriate type for each table within the font.
-Note that it does not read each table into memory, but creates a short reference
-which can be read using the form:
-
- $f->{$tablename}->read;
-
-Classes are included that support many of the different TrueType tables. For
-those for which no special code exists, the table type C<table> is used, which
-defaults to L<Font::TTF::Table>. The current tables which are supported are:
-
- table Font::TTF::Table - for unknown tables
- EBDT Font::TTF::EBDT
- EBLC Font::TTF::EBLC
- Feat Font::TTF::GrFeat
- GDEF Font::TTF::GDEF

-
-=head1 INSTANCE VARIABLES
-
-Instance variables begin with a space (and have lengths greater than the 4
-characters which make up table names).
-
-=over
-
-=item nocsum
-
-This is used during output to disable the creation of the file checksum in the
-head table. For example, during DSIG table creation, this flag will be set to
-ensure that the file checksum is left at zero.
-
-=item noharmony
-
-If set, do not harmonize the script and lang trees of GPOS and GSUB tables. See L<Font::TTF::Ttopen> for more info.
-
-=item fname (R)
-
-Contains the filename of the font which this object was read from.
-
-=item INFILE (P)
-
-The file handle which reflects the source file for this font.
-
-=item OFFSET (P)
-
-Contains the offset from the beginning of the read file of this particular
-font directory, thus providing support for TrueType Collections.

-=head2 $f->release
-
-Releases ALL of the memory used by the TTF font and all of its component
-objects. After calling this method, do B<NOT> expect to have anything left in
-the C<Font::TTF::Font> object.
-
-B<NOTE>, that it is important that you call this method on any
-C<Font::TTF::Font> object when you wish to destruct it and free up its memory.
-Internally, we track things in a structure that can result in circular
-references, and without calling 'C<release()>' these will not properly get
-cleaned up by Perl. Once you've called this method, though, don't expect to be
-able to do anything else with the C<Font::TTF::Font> object; it'll have B<no>
-internal state whatsoever.
-
-B<Developer note:> As part of the brute-force cleanup done here, this method
-will throw a warning message whenever unexpected key values are found within
-the C<Font::TTF::Font> object. This is done to help ensure that any unexpected
-and unfreed values are brought to your attention so that you can bug us to keep
-the module updated properly; otherwise the potential for memory leaks due to
-dangling circular references will exist.

-=head1 BUGS
-
-Bugs abound aplenty I am sure. There is a lot of code here and plenty of scope.
-The parts of the code which haven't been implemented yet are:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item Post
-
-Version 4 format types are not supported yet.
-
-=item Cmap
-
-Format type 2 (MBCS) has not been implemented yet and therefore may cause
-somewhat spurious results for this table type.
-
-=item Kern
-
-Only type 0 & type 2 tables are supported (type 1 & type 3 yet to come).
-
-=item TTC
-
-The current Font::TTF::Font::out method does not support the writing of TrueType
-Collections.
-
-=back
-
-In addition there are weaknesses or features of this module library
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-There is very little (or no) error reporting. This means that if you have
-garbled data or garbled data structures, then you are liable to generate duff
-fonts.
-
-=item *
-
-The exposing of the internal data structures everywhere means that doing
-radical re-structuring is almost impossible. But it stop the code from becoming
-ridiculously large.
-
-=back
-
-Apart from these, I try to keep the code in a state of "no known bugs", which
-given the amount of testing this code has had, is not a guarantee of high
-quality, yet.
-
-For more details see the appropriate class files.
