Chapter 4 - Font Manager / About Font Resources


Font Resource Tables

The Font Manager takes care of the details of how fonts are stored in resources, reading the resource files when required and building internal representations of the data stored in them. The Font Manager provides routines to interact with fonts, meeting the font-manipulation needs of most application developers.

However, if you are developing an application that requires you to work directly with font resource data, you may need to understand how the font data is stored in resource files. Each font resource consists of a number of tables, each of which has a specific structure. Some of these tables are described in the section "Font Manager Reference" beginning on page 4-35, while others are described in the TrueType Font Format Specification.
