 * specific details. There are also a few utility methods for converting between points,
 * pixels and funits. (font design units)
 *
 * An instance of an <code>LEFontInstance</code> represents a font at a particular point
 * size. Each instance can represent either a single physical font, or a composite font.
 * A composite font is a collection of physical fonts, each of which contains a subset of
 * the characters contained in the composite font.
 *
 * Note: with the exception of <code>getSubFont</code>, the methods in this class only
 * make sense for a physical font. If you have an <code>LEFontInstance</code> which
 * represents a composite font you should only call the methods below which have
 * an <code>LEGlyphID</code>, an <code>LEUnicode</code> or an <code>LEUnicode32</code>
 * as one of the arguments because these can be used to select a particular subfont.
 *
 * Subclasses which implement composite fonts should supply an implementation of these
 * methods with some default behavior such as returning constant values, or using the
 * values from the first subfont.

     * Get a physical font which can render the given text. For composite fonts,
     * if there is no single physical font which can render all of the text,
     * return a physical font which can render an initial substring of the text,
     * and set the <code>offset</code> parameter to the end of that substring.
     *
     * Internally, the LayoutEngine works with runs of text all in the same
     * font and script, so it is best to call this method with text which is
     * in a single script, passing the script code in as a hint. If you don't
     * know the script of the text, you can use zero, which is the script code
     * for characters used in more than one script.
     *
     * The default implementation of this method is intended for instances of
     * <code>LEFontInstance</code> which represent a physical font. It returns
     * <code>this</code> and indicates that the entire string can be rendered.
     *
     * This method will return a valid <code>LEFontInstance</code> unless you
     * have passed illegal parameters, or an internal error has been encountered.
     * For composite fonts, it may return the warning <code>LE_NO_SUBFONT_WARNING</code>
     * to indicate that the returned font may not be able to render all of
     * the text. Whenever a valid font is returned, the <code>offset</code> parameter
     * will be advanced by at least one.
     *
     * Subclasses which implement composite fonts must override this method.
     * Where it makes sense, they should use the script code as a hint to render
     * characters from the COMMON script in the font which is used for the given
     * script. For example, if the input text is a series of Arabic words separated
     * by spaces, and the script code passed in is <code>arabScriptCode</code> you
     * should return the font used for Arabic characters for all of the input text,
     * including the spaces. If, on the other hand, the input text contains characters
     * which cannot be rendered by the font used for Arabic characters, but which can
     * be rendered by another font, you should return that font for those characters.

     * @param offset  - a pointer to the starting offset in the text. On exit this

     *                  rendered using the returned font.
     * @param limit   - the limit offset for the input text.
     * @param script  - the script hint.
     * @param success - set to an error code if the arguments are illegal, or no font
     *                  can be returned for some reason. May also be set to
     *                  <code>LE_NO_SUBFONT_WARNING</code> if the subfont which
     *                  was returned cannot render all of the text.
