Summary0000853: font.reserveid
DescriptionFor creating virtual fonts one sometimes need an id in advance (for instance one can load several fonts and combine them before passing the result to tex) in which case it is handy to have the id available.

We already have "font.nextid" but that doesn't increment the counter really (reports current+1). It would be handy to have "font.reserveid" that increments as well as reports, so (current = current = 1 return current). In addition we then can have the tfmtable that gets passed to tex have a "useid" field (it's a bit like reserving objects and using them in the backend).
