Text::PDF::TTFont(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::PDF::TTFont(3pm)
NAME
Text::PDF::TTFont - Inherits from Text::PDF::Dict and represents a TrueType 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, %opts)
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 throught a particular PDF file.
All font resources are full PDF objects.
$t->width($text)
Measures the width of the given text according to the widths in the font
$t->trim($text, $len)
Trims the given text to the given length (in per mille em) returning the trimmed text
$t->out_text($text)
Indicates to the font that the text is to be output and returns the text to be output
$f->copy
Copies the font object excluding the name, widths and encoding, etc.
TITLE
Text::PDF::TTIOString - internal IO type handle for string output for font embedding. This code is ripped out of IO::Scalar, to save the
direct dependence for so little. See IO::Scalar for details
