## Interface OpenType

-     public interface OpenType

  The `OpenType` interface represents OpenType and TrueType fonts. This interface makes it possible to obtain sfnt tables from the font. A particular `Font` object can implement this interface.

  For more information on TrueType and OpenType fonts, see the OpenType specification. ( http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/ ).
