/**
* The <code>GlyphMetrics class represents information for a
* single glyph. A glyph is the visual representation of one or more
* characters. Many different glyphs can be used to represent a single
* character or combination of characters. <code>GlyphMetrics
* instances are produced by {@link java.awt.Font Font} and are applicable
* to a specific glyph in a particular <code>Font.
* <p>
* Glyphs are either STANDARD, LIGATURE, COMBINING, or COMPONENT.
* <ul>
* <li>STANDARD glyphs are commonly used to represent single characters.
* <li>LIGATURE glyphs are used to represent sequences of characters.
* <li>COMPONENT glyphs in a {@link GlyphVector} do not correspond to a
* particular character in a text model. Instead, COMPONENT glyphs are
* added for typographical reasons, such as Arabic justification.
* <li>COMBINING glyphs embellish STANDARD or LIGATURE glyphs, such
* as accent marks. Carets do not appear before COMBINING glyphs.
* </ul>
* <p>
* Other metrics available through <code>GlyphMetrics are the
* components of the advance, the visual bounds, and the left and right
* side bearings.
* <p>
* Glyphs for a rotated font, or obtained from a <code>GlyphVector
* which has applied a rotation to the glyph, can have advances that
* contain both X and Y components. Usually the advance only has one
* component.
* <p>
* The advance of a glyph is the distance from the glyph's origin to the
* origin of the next glyph along the baseline, which is either vertical
* or horizontal. Note that, in a <code>GlyphVector,
* the distance from a glyph to its following glyph might not be the
* glyph's advance, because of kerning or other positioning adjustments.
* <p>
* The bounds is the smallest rectangle that completely contains the
* outline of the glyph. The bounds rectangle is relative to the
* glyph's origin. The left-side bearing is the distance from the glyph
* origin to the left of its bounds rectangle. If the left-side bearing is
* negative, part of the glyph is drawn to the left of its origin. The
* right-side bearing is the distance from the right side of the bounds
* rectangle to the next glyph origin (the origin plus the advance). If
* negative, part of the glyph is drawn to the right of the next glyph's
* origin. Note that the bounds does not necessarily enclose all the pixels
* affected when rendering the glyph, because of rasterization and pixel
* adjustment effects.
* <p>
* Although instances of <code>GlyphMetrics can be directly
* constructed, they are almost always obtained from a
* <code>GlyphVector. Once constructed, GlyphMetrics
* objects are immutable.
* <p>
* <strong>Example:
* Querying a <code>Font for glyph information
* <blockquote>
* Font font = ...;
* int glyphIndex = ...;
* GlyphMetrics metrics = GlyphVector.getGlyphMetrics(glyphIndex);
* int isStandard = metrics.isStandard();
* float glyphAdvance = metrics.getAdvance();
* </pre>
* @see java.awt.Font
* @see GlyphVector
