DESCRIPTION
This is a very basic table with just instance variables as described in
the TTF documentation, using the same names. One of the most commonly
used is "unitsPerEm".
INSTANCE VARIABLES
The "head" table has no internal instance variables beyond those common
to all tables and those specified in the standard:
version
fontRevision
checkSumAdjustment
magicNumber
flags
unitsPerEm
created
modified
xMin
yMin
xMax
yMax
macStyle
lowestRecPPEM
fontDirectionHint
indexToLocFormat
glyphDataFormat
The two dates are held as an array of two unsigned longs (32-bits)
METHODS
$t->read
Reads the table into memory thanks to some utility functions
$t->out($fh)
Writes the table to a file either from memory or by copying. If in mem‐
ory (which is usually) the checkSumAdjustment field is set to 0 as per
the default if the file checksum is not to be considered.
$t->XML_element($context, $depth, $key, $value)
Handles date process for the XML exporter
$t->update
Updates the head table based on the glyph data and the hmtx table
$t->getdate($is_create)
Converts font modification time (or creation time if $is_create is set)
to a 32-bit integer as returned from time(). Returns undef if the value
is out of range, either before the epoch or after the maximum storable
time.
$t->setdate($time, $is_create)
Sets the time information for modification (or creation time if
$is_create is set) according to the 32-bit time information.
