The Family Glyph-Width Table Record

The font family glyph-width table record, which is part of the font family resource, is used to specify glyph widths for the font family on a per-style basis. The table record, of data type WidTable, consists of a count of the entries in the table and is followed by the entry records.

TYPE WidTable = 
RECORD
   numWidths:  Integer;    {number of entries - 1}
END;

Each entry in the family glyph-width table is a family glyph-width table entry record, of data type WidEntry, which specifies a style and a variable length array of glyph-width values.

TYPE WidEntry =
RECORD
   widStyle:   Integer;    {style code}
   {widths:    ARRAY[0..n] of Fixed;}
END;

The fields of the family glyph-width table and family glyph-width table entry records are described in the section "The Family Glyph-Width Table," beginning on page 4-92.
