  Class and Description
  FontRenderContext The `FontRenderContext` class is a container for the information needed to correctly measure text.
  GlyphVector A `GlyphVector` object is a collection of glyphs containing geometric information for the placement of each glyph in a transformed coordinate space which corresponds to the device on which the `GlyphVector` is ultimately displayed.
  LineMetrics The `LineMetrics` class allows access to the metrics needed to layout characters along a line and to layout of a set of lines.

  GlyphJustificationInfo The `GlyphJustificationInfo` class represents information about the justification properties of a glyph.
  GlyphMetrics The `GlyphMetrics` class represents infomation for a single glyph.
  GlyphVector A `GlyphVector` object is a collection of glyphs containing geometric information for the placement of each glyph in a transformed coordinate space which corresponds to the device on which the `GlyphVector` is ultimately displayed.
  GraphicAttribute This class is used with the CHAR_REPLACEMENT attribute.
  ImageGraphicAttribute The `ImageGraphicAttribute` class is an implementation of `GraphicAttribute` which draws images in a `TextLayout`.
  LayoutPath LayoutPath provides a mapping between locations relative to the baseline and points in user space.
  NumericShaper The `NumericShaper` class is used to convert Latin-1 (European) digits to other Unicode decimal digits.

  ShapeGraphicAttribute The `ShapeGraphicAttribute` class is an implementation of `GraphicAttribute` that draws shapes in a `TextLayout`.
  TextAttribute The `TextAttribute` class defines attribute keys and attribute values used for text rendering.
  TextHitInfo The `TextHitInfo` class represents a character position in a text model, and a bias, or "side," of the character.
  TextLayout `TextLayout` is an immutable graphical representation of styled character data.
  TextLayout.CaretPolicy Defines a policy for determining the strong caret location.
  TransformAttribute The `TransformAttribute` class provides an immutable wrapper for a transform so that it is safe to use as an attribute.
