/**
 * 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).
