NAME¶
PS_begin_font — Starts a new Type3 font
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <pslib.h>
int PS_begin_font(PSDoc *psdoc, const char *fontname, int reserverd, double a,
double b, double c, double d, double e, double f, const char *optlist)
DESCRIPTION¶
PostScript supports various kinds of fonts. Type3 fonts are fonts whose glyphs
are created with a subset of regular PostScript commands. This function starts
a new Type3 font embedded into the document which must be closed with
PS_end_font. Each glyph is created with consecutive calls of
PS_end_glyph and
PS_end_glyph. Once the new font is created, it
can be used like any other font loaded with
PS_findfont. The passed
floating point numbers are used to set the font matrix.
a and
d
are usually set to 0.001. The remaining numbers can be left zero.
Each call of
PS_begin_font must be accompanied by a call to
PS_end_pattern(3).
PS_begin_font has been introduced in version 0.4.0 of pslib.
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns identifier of the font or zero in case of an error. The identifier is a
positiv number greater 0.
