Overview

Extracts rendering hints from PostScript/CFF CharString data

PostScript Type 1 and CFF fonts embed hints directly in the CharString data as operators. This extractor parses CharString sequences to identify and extract hint operators.

**Supported PostScript Hint Operators:**

  • hstem/vstem - Horizontal/vertical stem hints

  • hstem3/vstem3 - Multiple stem hints

  • hintmask - Hint replacement masks

  • cntrmask - Counter control masks

Examples:

Extract hints from a CharString

extractor = PostScriptHintExtractor.new
hints = extractor.extract(charstring)
