Well, in this particular case, the code is the documentation. It's not
something our regular user will care about. What's in those XML files
are a few values from the font files (Type 1 and TrueType) necessary for
the layout process and for registering the fonts with the output format.
If I remember correctly, ascender, descender and x-height are most
important for layout. Add to that the BF ranges (Unicode fonts), individual
glyph widths (wx for TrueType) and the kerning pairs.

You can also get a lot of information from the TrueType specification
and from increasing the log level on the truetype package. If that helps
with your particular problem, I don't know.
