A font identifier is a general handle to map Font-Metrics for a given font. The same font identifier may be used by several fonts, if the fonts share the same metrics (this is commonly true for TrueType fonts).

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`equals(Object o)`
`FontType`	`getFontType()`	Returns the general type of this font identifier.
`int`	`hashCode()`
`boolean`	`isScalable()`	Defines, whether the font identifier represents a scalable font type.

- Method Detail
  - equals
```
boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - isScalable
```
boolean isScalable()
```
    Defines, whether the font identifier represents a scalable font type. Such fonts usually create one font metric object for each physical font, and apply the font size afterwards.
    
    Returns:
    
    true, if the font is scalable, false otherwise
  - getFontType
```
FontType getFontType()
```
    Returns the general type of this font identifier. This is for debugging, not for the real world.
    
    Returns:
