create

Constructs a new face object from the specified blob and a face index into that blob.

The face index is used for blobs of file formats such as TTC and DFont that can contain more than one face. Face indices within such collections are zero-based.

<note>Note: If the blob font format is not a collection, index is ignored. Otherwise, only the lower 16-bits of index are used. The unmodified index can be accessed via get_index.</note>

<note>Note: The high 16-bits of index, if non-zero, are used by create to load named-instances in variable fonts. See create for details.</note>

Parameters:

blob	Blob to work upon
index	The index of the face within blob

Returns:

The new face object
