Hi,

Brussels-based PHP genius Olivier Berten has made a sfnt.class.php
that powers www.selapa.net/khmerfonts/ and kindly donated the code to
Open Font Library - its in the public repo here:

https://svn.openfontlibrary.org/public/openfontlibrary/selapa/

With my limited PHP skillz, I have reworked this into a handy
**self-contained** command line tool for reading font metadata with
the only dependency being PHP:

https://svn.openfontlibrary.org/public/openfontlibrary/selapa/fontinfo_cmd.php

$ php fontinfo_cmd.php /path/to/font.ttf
