💖 Font::TTF::Maxp(3) — Maximum Profile table, bestie 💖

okay so this is the Font::TTF::Maxp(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and we’re doing a full vibe check on the Maximum Profile table in a font. No cap, it’s a short one and it ate. ✨

💖 NAME 💖

Font::TTF::Maxp — Maximum Profile table in a font 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

It’s literally a collection of useful instance variables that follow the TTF standard. The one people use the most is probably numGlyphs, iykyk.

Heads up, bestie: numGlyphs is foundational, so the application has to keep it up to date. update does not update this particular value. 💅

It handles table versions 0.5 and 1.0. Periodt.

✨ INSTANCE VARIABLES ✨

No other instance variables beyond the ones specified in the standard — here’s the whole lineup:

  • numGlyphs
  • maxPoints
  • maxContours
  • maxCompositePoints
  • maxCompositeContours
  • maxZones
  • maxTwilightPoints
  • maxStorage
  • maxFunctionDefs
  • maxInstructionDefs
  • maxStackElements
  • maxSizeOfInstructions
  • maxComponentElements
  • maxComponentDepth

🎀 METHODS 🎀

🌸 $t->read 🌸

Reads the table into memory. Lowkey essential. 🧚

🦋 $t->out($fh) 🦋

Writes the table to a file, either from memory or by copying. Slay. 💾

💅 $t->minsize() 💅

Returns the minimum size this table can be. If it’s smaller than this, then the table must be bad and should be deleted or whatever. Not me being dramatic — that’s literally the rule. 😭

⭐ $t->update ⭐

Calculates all the maximum values for a font based on the glyphs in the font. Only the fields that require hinting code interpretation are ignored and left as they were read. That’s the whole tea. 🍵

💀 BUGS 💀

None known. Iconic behavior, honestly. 👑
