Font::TTF::Post(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Font::TTF::Post(3)

NAME

       Font::TTF::Post - Holds the Postscript names for each glyph

DESCRIPTION

       Holds the postscript names for glyphs. Note that they are not held as an array, but as indexes into two lists. The first list is the
       standard Postscript name list defined by the TrueType standard. The second comes from the font directly.

       Looking up a glyph from a Postscript name or a name from a glyph number is achieved through methods rather than variable lookup.

       This class handles PostScript table types of 1, 2, 2.5 & 3, but not version 4.  Support for version 2.5 is as per Apple spec rather than
       MS.

       The way to look up Postscript names or glyphs is:

	   $pname = $f->{'post'}{'VAL'}[$gnum];
	   $gnum = $f->{'post'}{'STRINGS'}{$pname};

INSTANCE VARIABLES

       Due to different systems having different limitations, there are various class variables available to control what post table types can be
       written.

       $Font::TTF::Post::no25
	   If set tells Font::TTF::Post::out to use table type 2 instead of 2.5 in case apps cannot handle version 2.5.

       VAL Contains an array indexed by glyph number of Postscript names. This is used when writing out a font.

       STRINGS
	   An associative array of Postscript names mapping to the highest glyph with that name. These may not be in sync with VAL.

       In addition there are the standard introductory variables defined in the standard:

	   FormatType
	   italicAngle
	   underlinePosition
	   underlineThickness
	   isFixedPitch
	   minMemType42
	   maxMemType42
	   minMemType1
	   maxMemType1

METHODS

   $t->read
       Reads the Postscript table into memory from disk

   $t->out($fh)
       Writes out a new Postscript name table from memory or copies from disk

   $t->XML_element($context, $depth, $key, $val)
       Outputs the names as one block of XML

BUGS

       o   No support for type 4 tables
