Yes, I expect other representations are possible. Ive not given it any 
detailed thought.

Many work and play with fonts. There are tools available which offer 
other ways to query and present information about a font files. In years 
past I've used a few of them - but other than ttfdump, my memory is 
failing me at the moment. :-)

Aside: I have on my list to make a go at creating polygon{} font-derived 
character objects somewhat automatically using the ttfdump output given 
yuqk's new potential pattern support for the polygon{} object, but we'll 
see.
