Return the number of defined glyph names of the font.
$uni = $font->uniByGlyph($char)
Return the unicode by glyph name.
$uni = $font->uniByEnc($char)
Return the Unicode by the font's encoding map.
$uni = $font->uniByMap($char)
Return the Unicode by the font's default map.
$char = $font->encByGlyph($glyph)
Return the character by the given glyph name of the font's encoding map.
$char = $font->encByUni($uni)
Return the character by the given Unicode of the font's encoding map.
$char = $font->mapByGlyph($glyph)
Return the character by the given glyph name of the font's default map.
$char = $font->mapByUni($uni)
