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.
