<p>Some code may look a bit obscure but this has to do with the fact that we also use
this code for testing and much code evolved in the transition from <l n='tfm'/> to
<l n='afm'/> to <l n='otf'/>.</p>

<p>The following code still has traces of intermediate font support where we handles
font encodings. Eventually font encoding went away but we kept some code around in
other modules.</p>

<p>This version implements a node mode approach so that users can also more easily
add features.</p>

<p>As soon as we could intercept the <l n='tfm'/> reader, I implemented an
<l n='afm'/> reader. Since traditional <l n='pdftex'/> could use <l n='opentype'/>
fonts with <l n='afm'/> companions, the following method also could handle
those cases, but now that we can handle <l n='opentype'/> directly we no longer
need this features.</p>
