  encoding
  glyphs[Glyph] - array of glyphs
  source
  weight_vector
  measurement - position of the measurement line for the font

OPERATIONS:
  len - returns number of glyphs
  [] - accesses glyphs array

METHODS
  New() - clears the font
  Open(string filename) - opens font from VFB format
  Save(string filename) - saves font in VFB format
  Reencode()  FindGlyph(string name) | (Uni unicode) | (integer Unicode) - finds glyph and return its index or -1
  DefineAxis(string Name, string Type, string ShortName) - defines the new Multiple Master axis
  DeleteAxis(axisindex, float position) - removes the axis
  GenerateUnicode() - generates Unicode indexes for all glyphs
  GenerateNames() - generates names for all glyphs
  GenerateGlyph(string glyphname) - generates new glyph using 'glyphname' as a source of information about glyph's composition
  MakeKernFeature([WeightVector vector]) - generates 'kern' feature using font kerning and classes
  MergeFonts(Font source[, flags]) - appends all glyphs from the source font. Check mfXXXX constants for options
  SetClassFlags(int class_index, bool left, bool right) - allows to set 'left' and 'right' properties of the kerning class   SetClassFlags(int class_index, bool lsb, bool rsb, bool width) - allows to set 'lsb', 'rsb' and 'width' properties of the metrics class   GetClassLeft(int class_index) - returns the 'left' property of the class  GetClassRight(int class_index) - returns the 'right' property of the class  GetClassMetricsFlags(int class_index) - returns the tuple containing LSB, RSB and Width flags of the metrics class
