Methods' computational complexity

TrueType fonts designed for fast querying, so most of the methods are very fast. The main exception is glyph outlining. Glyphs can be stored using two different methods: using Glyph Data format and Compact Font Format (pdf). The first one is fairly simple which makes it faster to process. The second one is basically a tiny language with a stack-based VM, which makes it way harder to process. Currently, it takes 40% more time to outline all glyphs in SourceSansPro-Regular.otf (which uses CFF) rather than in SourceSansPro-Regular.ttf.

test outline_cff ... bench: 1,651,557 ns/iter (+/- 2,751) test outline_glyf ... bench: 977,046 ns/iter (+/- 4,973)

Here is some methods benchmarks:

test outline_glyph_276_from_cff ... bench: 1,247 ns/iter (+/- 2) test outline_glyph_276_from_glyf ... bench: 817 ns/iter (+/- 15) test outline_glyph_8_from_cff ... bench: 521 ns/iter (+/- 2) test family_name ... bench: 445 ns/iter (+/- 4) test from_data_otf ... bench: 435 ns/iter (+/- 1) test outline_glyph_8_from_glyf ... bench: 360 ns/iter (+/- 7) test from_data_ttf ... bench: 133 ns/iter (+/- 0)

Some methods are too fast, so we execute them 1000 times to get better measurements.

test glyph_index_u41 ... bench: 24,648 ns/iter (+/- 256) test glyph_2_hor_metrics ... bench: 8,421 ns/iter (+/- 18) test units_per_em ... bench: 564 ns/iter (+/- 2) test x_height ... bench: 568 ns/iter (+/- 1) test strikeout_metrics ... bench: 564 ns/iter (+/- 0) test width ... bench: 422 ns/iter (+/- 0) test ascender ... bench: 279 ns/iter (+/- 1) test subscript_metrics ... bench: 279 ns/iter (+/- 0)

family_name is expensive, because it allocates a String and the original data is stored as UTF-16 BE.
