SYNOPSIS

           use Font::FreeType;

           my $freetype = Font::FreeType->new;
           my $face = $freetype->face('Vera.ttf');
           my $charmap = $face->charmap;
           say $charmap->platform_id;
           say $charmap->encoding_id;
           say $charmap->encoding;

DESCRIPTION

       A charmap is used to translate character codes in a given encoding into glyph indexes for
       its parent's face. Some font formats may provide several charmaps per font.
