August 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this message) A font test without hinting (upper rows) and with hinting (lower rows) at both true size and 400% scaling. Note the increased edge contrast with the hinted text but more faithful character shape and more natural inter-character spacing in the unhinted text.
The Adobe Glyph List (AGL) is a mapping of 4,281 glyph names to one or more Unicode characters. Its purpose is to provide an implementation guideline for consumers of fonts (mainly software applications); it lists a variety of standard names that are given to glyphs that correspond to certain Unicode character sequences.
The Unicode standard does not specify or create any font (), a collection of graphical shapes called glyphs, itself.Rather, it defines the abstract characters as a specific number (known as a code point) and also defines the required changes of shape depending on the context the glyph is used in (e.g., combining characters, precomposed characters and letter-diacritic combinations).
If you look through the major and minor glyphs, you'll notice that there aren't very many marked as such. There's a reason for that. We just don't have that many spectacular glyphs that are useful ...
The bit string also ends with 4 zeros, so the bottom 2 rows will be empty. It is implicit from this that the default font descender is 2 rows below the baseline, and the capital height is 10 rows above the baseline. This is the case in the GNU Unifont with Latin glyphs. Over time, a number of ways have been created to handle the format.

HarfBuzz (loose transliteration of Persian calque حرفباز harf-bāz, literally "open type") [2] [3] is a software library for supporting text shaping, which is the process of converting Unicode text to glyph indices and positions.
