NAME¶
Imager::Font::FreeType2 - low-level functions for FreeType2 text output
DESCRIPTION¶
Imager::Font creates a Imager::Font::FreeType2 object when asked to.
See Imager::Font to see how to use this type.
This class provides low-level functions that require the caller to perform data
validation.
This driver supports:
- transform()
- dpi()
- draw()
- The following parameters:
- •
- "utf8"
- •
- "vlayout"
- •
- "sizew"
Special behaviors¶
If you call
transform() to set a transformation matrix, hinting will be
switched off. This prevents sudden jumps in the size of the text caused by the
hinting when the transformation is the identity matrix. If for some reason you
want hinting enabled, use $font->hinting(hinting=>1) to re-enable
hinting. This will need to be called after
each call to
transform().
