fig2ps 1.4.1 (Stable branch)
fig2ps is a script for converting xfig files to PS or PDF, processing text using LaTeX. It is intended to help typeset good quality documents, where the font on the pictures is exactly the same as the font in the text. The advantage it has over some other xfig exporters such as eepic is that you compile the picture only once and not every time you compile your LaTeX file, giving a great gain in speed with complex pictures. It should work with LyX. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This releases features the fixing of a whole bunch of old bugs, in particular the one that was resulting in fig2ps guessing the wrong bounding box with --bbox=gs (the default). The manual page was rewritten from scratch and is clearer now. Image

text::pdf::ttfont

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
