\addtogroup rendering_backend_interfaces Rendering Backend Interfaces
@{
Abstracts a description of a 'composite glyph' (character string
with associated font and styling information) in the SVG rendering
backend for use by a rendering engine's nsISVGRendererGlyphGeometry
objects. In addition to the attributes of the
nsISVGGlyphMetricsSource interface, this interface contains
absolute positioning and other information, such as e.g. individual
character highlighting, which doesn't affect the actual metrics of
the glyph. The metrics of the glyph, as given by the rendering
engine-native object implementing nsISVGRendererGlyphMetrics are
also provided as an attribute.
An engine-native glyph geometry object will be informed of changes
in its associated composite glyph with a call to its
nsISVGRendererGlyphMetrics::update() method with an OR-ed
combination of the UPDATEMASK_* constants defined in this interface
(and its base-interface).
