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::ttfont0

Text::PDF::TTFont0(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   Text::PDF::TTFont0(3pm)

NAME

       Text::PDF::TTFont0 - Inherits from PDF::Dict and represents a TrueType Type 0 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)

       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 throughout a particular PDF file.

       All font resources are full PDF objects.

       out_text($text)

       Returns the string to be put into a content stream for text to be output in this font.  The text is assumed to be UTF8 encoded and the
       return string is a glyph sequence for the text. If subsetting is enabled, then all the glyphs returned are also marked for output.

       out_glyphs(@n)

       Marks the glyphs as being needed in the output font when subsetting. Returns a string to render the glyphs as specified.

       width($text)

       Returns the width of the string, assuming it to be UTF8 encoded.

       outobjdeep($fh, $pdf, %opts)

       Handles the creation of the font stream including subsetting at this point. So if you get this far, that's it for subsetting.

       ship_out($pdf)

       Ship this font out to the given $pdf file context

       empty

       Empty the font of as much as possible in order to save memory
