/**
* This class represents the contents of a font encoding file,
* e.g. "8r.enc"
*
* Explanation of font encodings: TeX was designed to only use
* MetaFont fonts. A DVI file referres to a MetaFont font by giving an
* at-most-8-character name, such as 'cmr10'. The DVI previewer would
* then locate the associated PK font file (e.g. cmr10.600pk), load
* it, and retrieve the character shaped.
*
* Today TeX is also used to access Type1 and TrueType fonts, which it
* was never designed to do. As in the case of MetaFont font, the DVI
* file specifies the name of a font, e.g. 'rpbkd', and the DVI
* previewer finds the associated font file 'ubkd8a.pfb' by means of a
* map file (see fontMap.h). The font map file also specifies an
* encoding (e.g. '8r', to be found in a file '8r.enc'). Font
* encodings are necessary because TeX can only use the first 256
* characters of a font, while modern PostScript fonts often contain
* more.
*
* In a PostScript font, glyphs can often be accessed in two ways:
*
* (a) by an integer, the 'glyph index', which need not be
* positive. Glyph indices can be found in every font.
*
* (b) by the name of the glyph, such as 'A', 'plusminus' or
* 'ogonek'. Note: Not all fonts contain glyph names, and if a font
* contains glyph names, they are not always reliable.
*
* An encoding file is essentially a list of 256 names of glyphs that
* TeX wishes to use from a certain font. If the font contains more
* than 256 glyphs, TeX is still limited to use at most 256 glyphs. If
* more glyphs are required, TeX can probably use the same font under
* a different name and with a different encoding ---the map file
* (fontMap.h) can probably see to that.
*
* Summing up: this class contains 256 glyph names read from an
* encoding file during the construction of this class.
