      * Get a physical font which can render the given text. For composite fonts,

      * return a physical font which can render an initial substring of the text,
      * and set the <code>offset</code> parameter to the end of that substring.
      *
      * Internally, the LayoutEngine works with runs of text all in the same
      * font and script, so it is best to call this method with text which is
      * in a single script, passing the script code in as a hint. If you don't
      * know the script of the text, you can use zero, which is the script code
      * for characters used in more than one script.
      *
      * The default implementation of this method is intended for instances of
      * <code>LEFontInstance</code> which represent a physical font. It returns
      * <code>this</code> and indicates that the entire string can be rendered.
      *
      * This method will return a valid <code>LEFontInstance</code> unless you
      * have passed illegal parameters, or an internal error has been encountered.
      * For composite fonts, it may return the warning <code>LE_NO_SUBFONT_WARNING</code>
      * to indicate that the returned font may not be able to render all of
      * the text. Whenever a valid font is returned, the <code>offset</code> parameter
      * will be advanced by at least one.
      *
      * Subclasses which implement composite fonts must override this method.
      * Where it makes sense, they should use the script code as a hint to render
      * characters from the COMMON script in the font which is used for the given
      * script. For example, if the input text is a series of Arabic words separated
      * by spaces, and the script code passed in is <code>arabScriptCode</code> you
      * should return the font used for Arabic characters for all of the input text,
      * including the spaces. If, on the other hand, the input text contains characters

      *                  rendered using the returned font.
      * @param limit   - the limit offset for the input text.
