`int` `getFlags()` Returns the flags for the font.
`int[]` `getFontBBox()` Returns the font's bounding box.
`int` `getItalicAngle()` Returns the italic angle for the font.
`int` `getStemV()` Returns the vertical stem width for the font.
`boolean` `isEmbeddable()` Indicates if this font may be embedded.
`boolean` `isSubsetEmbedded()` Indicates whether this font is subset embedded.
