Overview

CFF (Compact Font Format) table parser

The CFF table contains PostScript-based glyph outline data for OpenType fonts with CFF outlines (as opposed to TrueType glyf/loca outlines). CFF is identified by the 'OTTO' signature in the font's sfnt version.

CFF Table Structure:

CFF Table = Header
          + Name INDEX
          + Top DICT INDEX
          + String INDEX
          + Global Subr INDEX
          + [Encodings]
          + [Charsets]
          + [FDSelect]
          + [CharStrings INDEX]
          + [Font DICT INDEX]
          + [Private DICT]
          + [Local Subr INDEX]

This implementation focuses on the foundational structures (Header and INDEX) which are used throughout CFF. Additional structures like DICT, CharStrings, Charset, and Encoding require separate implementations.

Examples:

Reading a CFF table

data = font.table_data['CFF ']
cff = Fontisan::Tables::Cff.read(data)
puts cff.font_count  # => 1
puts cff.header.version  # => "1.0"

#parse!(data) ⇒ Object

  • data (String) —

    Binary data for the CFF table
