Overview

This class is abstract.

Subclasses must implement format-specific validation

Base class for SFNT font formats (TrueType and OpenType)

This class contains all shared SFNT structure and behavior. TrueType and OpenType fonts inherit from this class and add format-specific functionality.

Examples:

Reading a font (format detected automatically)

font = Fontisan::FontLoader.load("font.ttf")  # Returns TrueTypeFont
font = Fontisan::FontLoader.load("font.otf")  # Returns OpenTypeFont

Reading and analyzing a font

ttf = Fontisan::TrueTypeFont.from_file("font.ttf")
puts ttf.header.num_tables  # => 14
name_table = ttf.table("name")
puts name_table.english_name(Tables::Name::FAMILY)

Loading with metadata mode

ttf = Fontisan::TrueTypeFont.from_file("font.ttf", mode: :metadata)
puts ttf.loading_mode  # => :metadata
ttf.table_available?("GSUB")  # => false

Writing a font

ttf.to_file("output.ttf")

#sfnt_table(tag) ⇒ SfntTable?

Get OOP SfntTable instance for a table

Returns a SfntTable (or subclass) instance that encapsulates the table’s metadata, lazy loading, parsing, and validation. This provides a more object-oriented interface than the separate TableDirectory/@table_data/@parsed_tables approach.

Examples:

Using SfntTable for validation

head = font.sfnt_table("head")
head.validate!  # Performs head-specific validation
head.units_per_em  # => 2048 (convenience method)

Parameters:

  • tag (String) —

    The table tag to retrieve

Returns:

  • (SfntTable, nil) —

    SfntTable instance (or subclass like HeadTable), or nil if not found

  # Create and cache (find_table_entry is already cached internally)
  @sfnt_tables[tag] = create_sfnt_table(tag)
end

#subfamily_name ⇒ String?

#table(tag) ⇒ Tables::*?

Get parsed table instance

This method parses the raw table data into a structured table object and caches the result for subsequent calls. Enforces mode restrictions.

Parameters:

  • tag (String) —

    The table tag to retrieve

Returns:

  • (Tables::*, nil) —
