NAME¶
Text::PDF::TTFont0 - Inherits from PDF::Dict and represents a TrueType Type 0
font within a PDF file.
DESCRIPTION¶
A font consists of two primary parts in a PDF file: the header and the font
descriptor. Whilst two fonts may share font descriptors, they will have their
own header dictionaries including encoding and widhth information.
INSTANCE VARIABLES¶
There are no instance variables beyond the variables which directly correspond
to entries in the appropriate PDF dictionaries.
METHODS¶
Text::PDF::TTFont->new($parent, $fontfname. $pdfname)¶
Creates a new font resource for the given fontfile. This includes the font
descriptor and the font stream. The $pdfname is the name by which this font
resource will be known throughout a particular PDF file.
All font resources are full PDF objects.
out_text($text)¶
Returns the string to be put into a content stream for text to be output in this
font. The text is assumed to be UTF8 encoded and the return string is a glyph
sequence for the text. If subsetting is enabled, then all the glyphs returned
are also marked for output.
out_glyphs(@n)¶
Marks the glyphs as being needed in the output font when subsetting. Returns a
string to render the glyphs as specified.
width($text)¶
Returns the width of the string, assuming it to be UTF8 encoded.
outobjdeep($fh, $pdf, %opts)¶
Handles the creation of the font stream including subsetting at this point. So
if you get this far, that's it for subsetting.
ship_out($pdf)¶
Ship this font out to the given $pdf file context
empty¶
Empty the font of as much as possible in order to save memory
