NAME
PDF::API2::Resource::BaseFont - base font class
METHODS
$font = PDF::API2::Resource::BaseFont->new $pdf, $name Returns a font resource object. $font = PDF::API2::Resource::BaseFont->new_api $api, $name Returns a font resource object. This method is different from 'new' that it needs an PDF::API2-object rather than a Text::PDF::File-object. $descriptor = $font->descrByData() Returns the fonts FontDescriptor key-structure based on the fonts data. FONT-MANAGEMENT RELATED METHODS $name = $font->fontname() Returns the fonts name (aka. display-name). $name = $font->altname() Returns the fonts alternative-name (aka. windows-name for a postscript font). $name = $font->subname() Returns the fonts subname (aka. font-variant, schriftschnitt). $name = $font->apiname() Returns the fonts name to be used internally (should be equal to $font->name). $issymbol = $font->issymbol() Returns the fonts symbol flag. $iscff = $font->iscff() Returns the fonts compact-font-format flag.
TYPOGRAPHY RELATED METHODS
($llx, $lly, $urx, $ury) = $font->fontbbox() Returns the fonts bounding-box. $capheight = $font->capheight() Returns the fonts capheight value. $xheight = $font->xheight() Returns the fonts xheight value. $missingwidth = $font->missingwidth() Returns the fonts missingwidth value. $maxwidth = $font->maxwidth() Returns the fonts maxwidth value. $avgwidth = $font->avgwidth() Returns the fonts avgwidth value. $flags = $font->flags() Returns the fonts flags value. $stemv = $font->stemv() Returns the fonts stemv value. $stemh = $font->stemh() Returns the fonts stemh value. $italicangle = $font->italicangle() Returns the fonts italicangle value. $isfixedpitch = $font->isfixedpitch() Returns the fonts isfixedpitch flag. $underlineposition = $font->underlineposition() Returns the fonts underlineposition value. $underlinethickness = $font->underlinethickness() Returns the fonts underlinethickness value. $ascender = $font->ascender() Returns the fonts ascender value. $descender = $font->descender() Returns the fonts descender value.
GLYPH RELATED METHODS
@names = $font->glyphNames() Returns the defined glyph-names of the font. $glNum = $font->glyphNum() Returns the number of defined glyph-names of the font. $uni = $font->uniByGlyph $char Returns the unicode by glyph-name. $uni = $font->uniByEnc $char Returns the unicode by the fonts encoding map. $uni = $font->uniByMap $char Returns the unicode by the fonts default map. $char = $font->encByGlyph $glyph Returns the character by the given glyph-name of the fonts encoding map. $char = $font->encByUni $uni Returns the character by the given unicode of the fonts encoding map. $char = $font->mapByGlyph $glyph Returns the character by the given glyph-name of the fonts default map. $char = $font->mapByUni $uni Returns the character by the given unicode of the fonts default map. $name = $font->glyphByUni $unicode Returns the glyphs name by the fonts unicode map. BEWARE: non-standard glyph-names are mapped onto the ms-symbol area(0xF000). $name = $font->glyphByEnc $char Returns the glyphs name by the fonts encoding map. $name = $font->glyphByMap $char Returns the glyphs name by the fonts default map. $width = $font->wxByGlyph $glyph Returns the glyphs width. $width = $font->wxByUni $uni Returns the unicodes width. $width = $font->wxByEnc $char Returns the characters width based on the current encoding. $width = $font->wxByMap $char Returns the characters width based on the fonts default encoding. $wd = $font->width $text Returns the width of $text as if it were at size 1. BEWARE: works only correctly if a proper perl-string is used either in native or utf8 format (check utf8-flag). @widths = $font->width_array $text Returns the widths of the words in $text as if they were at size 1.
STRING METHODS
$utf8string = $font->utfByStr $string Returns the utf8-string from string based on the fonts encoding map. $string = $font->strByUtf $utf8string Returns the encoded string from utf8-string based on the fonts encoding map. $pdfstring = $font->textByStr $text Returns a properly formatted representation of $text for use in the PDF.
