Description

A font object represents a font face at a specific size and with certain other parameters (pixels-per-em, points-per-em, variation settings) specified. Font objects are created from font face objects, and are used as input for shaping, and subsetting.

An :$index number (default 0) is required to select a font from a True Type Collection (extension .ttc) or Open Type Collection (extension .otc).
