Create(Factory,String,Nullable<Int64>) Method

The last modified time of the input file path. If the parameter is omitted, the function will access the font file to obtain its last write time. You should specify this value to avoid extra disk access. Subsequent operations on the constructed object may fail if the user provided lastWriteTime doesn't match the file on the disk.
