Understanding Text in PDF
Regarding TrueType font support: What I meant was that the library isn't a full TrueType font library but contains just the parts necessary for PDF supports. So what it can do is write a subset of a TrueType file because that's needed. But it can't serialize any arbitrary TrueType tables and it only handles those TrueType tables needed for displaying text in PDF. More advanced things like glyph positioning based on the language and characters in question is also not supported but may be in the future. Have a look at https://github.com/gettalong/hexapdf/tree/master/lib/hexapdf/font/true_type/ to see the implementation. All the things in this folder and below should be independent of PDF.
TrueType subsetting mainly consists of generating the necessary glyph and various index tables, and copying over all the other necessary tables which don't need to be adjusted. See https://github.com/gettalong/hexapdf/blob/master/lib/hexapdf/font/true_type/subsetter.rb for what is needed to subset.

One Class/Module per File Rules - Working With Nested Modules
Break the "rules" if need be. There is no need to separate out small classes into their own file because "something says so". If one were to look for the file of such a class, they would see there isn't one and automatically look into the file of the parent module/class. See e.g. https://github.com/gettalong/hexapdf/blob/master/lib/hexapdf/type/annotation.rb

Read, write, and edit PDF files with borb, a pure Python library
If you want to do something like this in Ruby, have a look at HexaPDF - https://hexapdf.gettalong.org/ - which provides a full-blown implementation for reading and writing PDFs and is quite mature already (n.b. I'm the author).
It is licensed AGPL+Commercial but if you just use it for yourself, this does not matter as you can use the AGPL.
