VWIDTH(1)						      General Commands Manual							 VWIDTH(1)

NAME

       vwidth - make troff width table for a font

SYNOPSIS

       vwidth fontfile pointsize > ftxx.c
       cc -c ftxx.c mv ftxx.o /usr/share/font/ftxx

DESCRIPTION

       Vwidth  translates from the width information stored in the vfont style format to the format expected by troff.	Troff wants an object file
       in a.out(5) format.  (This fact does not seem to be documented anywhere.)  Troff should look directly in the font file but it doesn't.

       Vwidth should be used after editing a font with fed(1).	It is not necessary to use vwidth unless you have made a change that would  affect
       the width tables.  Such changes include numerically editing the width field, adding a new character, and moving or copying a character to a
       new position.  It is not always necessary to use vwidth if the physical width of the glyph (e.g. the number of columns in the  bit  matrix)
       has changed, but if it has changed much the logical width should probably be changed and vwidth run.

       Vwidth  produces  a  C  program	on its standard output.  This program should be run through the C compiler and the object (that is, the .o
       file) saved.  The resulting file should be placed in /usr/share/font in the file ftxx where is a one or two letter code that is the logical
       (internal  to  troff) font name.  This name can be found by looking in the file /usr/share/fontinfo/fname* where fname is the external name
       of the font.

BUGS

       Produces the C file using obsolete syntax that the portable C compiler complains about.

imagefontwidth - Get font width

SYNOPSIS

       int imagefontwidth (int	$font)

DESCRIPTION

	Returns the pixel width of a character in font.

PARAMETERS

	      o $
		font  -Can  be	1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for built-in fonts in latin2 encoding (where higher numbers corresponding to larger fonts) or any of
		your own font identifiers registered with imageloadfont(3).

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the pixel width of the font.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Using imagefontwidth(3) on built-in fonts

	      <?php
	      echo 'Font width: ' . imagefontwidth(4);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Font width: 8

       Example #2

	      Using imagefontwidth(3) together with imageloadfont(3)

	      <?php
	      // Load a .gdf font
	      $font = imageloadfont('anonymous.gdf');

	      echo 'Font width: ' . imagefontwidth($font);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Font width: 23
