Detailed Description

A font that is used to draw text on a page. It corresponds to a Font Resource in a PDF file. More than one page may reference the same Font object. A Font has a number of attributes, including an array of widths, the character encoding, and the font's resource name.

PDF document can contain several different types of fonts and Font class represents a single, flat interface around all PDF font types.

There are two main classes of fonts in PDF: simple and composite fonts.

Simple fonts are Type1, TrueType, and Type3 fonts. All simple fonts have the following properties:

Glyphs in the font are selected by single-byte character codes obtained from a string that is shown by the text-showing operators. Logically, these codes index into a table of 256 glyphs; the mapping from codes to glyphs is called the font's encoding. Each font program has a built-in encoding. Under some circumstances, the encoding can be altered by means described in Section 5.5.5 "Character Encoding" in PDF Reference Manual.
Each glyph has a single set of metrics. Therefore simple fonts support only horizontal writing mode.

A composite font is one whose glyphs are obtained from a font like object called a CIDFont (e.g. CIDType0Font and CIDType0Font). A composite font is represented by a font dictionary whose Subtype value is Type0. The Type 0 font is known as the root font, while its associated CIDFont is called its descendant. CID-keyed fonts provide a convenient and efficient method for defining multiple-byte character encodings and fonts with a large number of glyphs. These capabilities provide great flexibility for representing text in writing systems for languages with large character sets, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK).

void pdftron::PDF::Font::Destroy ( )

Frees the native memory of the object.

double pdftron::PDF::Font::GetAscent ( )

The face's ascender is the vertical distance from the baseline to the topmost point of any glyph in the face. This field's value is a positive number, expressed in the glyph coordinate system. For all font types except Type 3, the units of glyph space are one-thousandth of a unit of text space. Some font designs use a value different from 'bbox.yMax'.

Note: Only relevant for scalable formats.

Rect pdftron::PDF::Font::GetBBox ( )

Returns: A rectangle expressed in the glyph coordinate system, specifying the font bounding box. This is the smallest rectangle enclosing the shape that would result if all of the glyphs of the font were placed with their origins coincident and then filled.

Common::Iterator<UInt32> pdftron::PDF::Font::GetCharCodeIterator ( )

GetCharCodeIterator represents an iterator interface used to traverse a list of char codes for which there is a glyph outline in the embedded font.

Font pdftron::PDF::Font::GetDescendant ( )

Returns: descendant CIDFont.

Note: Relevant only for a Type0 font.

double pdftron::PDF::Font::GetDescent ( )

The face's descender is the vertical distance from the baseline to the bottommost point of any glyph in the face. This field's value is a negative number expressed in the glyph coordinate system. For all font types except Type 3, the units of glyph space are one-thousandth of a unit of text space. Some font designs use a value different from 'bbox.yMin'.

Note: Only relevant for scalable formats.

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Font::GetDescriptor ( )

Returns: a SDF/Cos object representing FontDescriptor or NULL is FontDescriptor is not present.

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Font::GetEmbeddedFont ( )

Returns: the stream object of the embedded font or NULL if there if the font is not embedded.

Note: This function is not applicable to Type3 font and will throw exception.

int pdftron::PDF::Font::GetEmbeddedFontBufSize ( )

Returns: the size of decoded buffer containing embedded font data or 0 if this information is not known in advance.

Note: The size of decoded buffer may not be known in advance for all fonts and may not be correct.; This function is not applicable to Type3 font and will throw exception.

const char* pdftron::PDF::Font::GetEmbeddedFontName ( )

Returns: the PostScript font name for the embedded font. If the embedded font name is not available the function returns the empty string .

const char** pdftron::PDF::Font::GetEncoding ( )

Returns: the font's encoding array (the mapping of character codes to glyphs). The array contains 256 pointers. If a pointer is not NULL, it points to a C string containing the name of the glyph for the code point corresponding to the index. If it is NULL, then the name of the glyph is unchanged from that specified by the font's built-in encoding.

For a Type 3 font, all glyph names will be present in the encoding array, and NULL entries correspond to un-encoded code points.

Note: The Font object is the owner of the array.; This function is not applicable to composite fonts (e_type0, e_CIDType0, and e_CIDType2) and will throw an exception.

const char* pdftron::PDF::Font::GetFamilyName ( )

Returns: the face's family name. This is an ASCII string, usually in English, which describes the typeface's family (like 'Times New Roman', 'Bodoni', 'Garamond', etc). This is a least common denominator used to list fonts.

PathData pdftron::PDF::Font::GetGlyphPath	(	UInt32	char_code,
		bool	conics2cubics,
		Common::Matrix2D *	transform = `0`
	)

The function retrieves the glyph outline for a given character code.

Parameters

char_code	character to query
conics2cubics	if set to true converts all quadratic Bezier curves to cubic Beziers, otherwise no conversion is performed.
transform	An optional matrix used to transform glyph data coordinates. If null/unspecified, glyph data points will not be transformed.

Returns: A PathData object containing the path information.

Note: the function can return only the following operators (Element::e_moveto, Element::e_lineto, Element::e_cubicto and optionally Element::e_conicto if conics2cubics parameter is set to true.; This function is not applicable to Type3 font and will throw an exception. Use GetType3GlyphStream instead.; Check PathData::IsDefined to see if the char_code was mapped to 'undefined character code'.

double pdftron::PDF::Font::GetMaxWidth ( )

Returns: the maximal advance width, in font units, for all glyphs in this face.

double pdftron::PDF::Font::GetMissingWidth ( )

Returns: the default width to use for character codes whose widths are not specified in a font dictionary's Widths array.

const char* pdftron::PDF::Font::GetName ( )

Returns: the name of a font. The behavior depends on the font type; for a Type 3 font it gets the value of the Name key in a PDF Font resource. For other types it gets the value of the BaseFont key in a PDF font resource.

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Font::GetSDFObj ( )

Returns: a SDF/Cos object of this Font.

ShapedText pdftron::PDF::Font::GetShapedText ( const UString & text_to_shape )

Creates a set of positioned glyphs corresponding to the visual representation of the provided text string.

The shaped text will take into account any advanced positioning and substitution features provided by an underylying embedded font file. For example, these features could include kerning, ligatures, and diacritic positioning. Typically the resulting shaped text would be fed into ElementBuilder.CreateShapedTextRun()

Parameters

text_to_shape the string to be shaped.

Returns: A ShapedText object representing the result of the shaping operation.

Note: Shaping requires a Type0 font with an embedded font file which covers all the unicode codepoints in the source text. For best results, this font should use the e_Indices encoding scheme, as shaping features that combine multiple codepoints into one glyph (ligatures, for example) will not work well in non-index encoded fonts.

int pdftron::PDF::Font::GetStandardType1FontType ( )

Returns: Font::e_null if the font is not a standard Type1 font or some other StandardType1Font value for a standard Type1 font.

Type pdftron::PDF::Font::GetType ( )

Returns: Font Type

static Type pdftron::PDF::Font::GetType ( SDF::Obj font_dict )

static

Returns: The type of a given SDF/Cos font dictionary

Common::Matrix2D pdftron::PDF::Font::GetType3FontMatrix ( )

Returns: Type3 font matrix, mapping glyph space to text space A common practice is to define glyphs in terms of a 1000-unit glyph coordinate system, in which case the font matrix is [0.001 0 0 0.001 0 0].

Note: Relevant only for a Type3 font.

SDF::Obj pdftron::PDF::Font::GetType3GlyphStream ( UInt32 char_code )

Returns: a SDF/Cos glyph stream for the given char_code. If specified char_code is not found in the CharProcs dictionary the function returns NULL.

Note: Relevant only for a Type3 font.

UInt16 pdftron::PDF::Font::GetUnitsPerEm ( )

Returns: the number of font units per EM square for this face. This is typically 2048 for TrueType fonts, 1000 for Type1 fonts

Note: Only relevant for scalable formats (such as TrueType and Type1).; This function is not applicable to Type3 font and will throw an exception. Use GetType3FontMatrix instead.

double pdftron::PDF::Font::GetVerticalAdvance	(	UInt32	char_code,
		double &	out_pos_vect_x,
		double &	out_pos_vect_y
	)

Returns: vertical advance. vertical advance is a displacement vector for vertical writing mode (i.e. writing mode 1); its horizontal component is always 0.

Parameters

char_code	character to query for vertical advance
out_pos_vect_x	- initialized by the method. horizontal component of the position vector defining the position of the vertical writing mode origin relative to horizontal writing mode origin.
out_pos_vect_y	- initialized by the method. vertical component of the position vector defining the position of the vertical writing mode origin relative to horizontal writing mode origin.

Note: Use this method only for composite fonts with vertical writing mode (i.e. if Font.IsHorizontalMode() returns false). The method will return 0 as vertical advance for simple fonts or for composite fonts with only horizontal writing mode.; Relevant only for a Type0 font.

std::vector<double> pdftron::PDF::Font::GetVerticalAdvance ( UInt32 char_code )

double pdftron::PDF::Font::GetWidth ( UInt32 char_code ) const

Returns: advance width, measured in glyph space units for the glyph matching given character code.

Note: 1000 glyph units = 1 text space unit; The width returned has NOT been scaled by the font size, text matrix, nor the CTM.

The function gets the advance width of the font glyph. The advance width is the amount by which the current point advances when the glyph is drawn. The advance width may not correspond to the visible width of the glyph and for this reason, the advance width cannot be used to determine the glyphs' bounding boxes.

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsAllCap ( )

Returns: true if font contains no lowercase letters

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsCFF ( )

Returns: true if the embedded font is represented as CFF (Compact Font Format).

Note: Only Type1 and Type1C fonts can be represented in CFF format

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsEmbedded ( )

Tests whether or not the specified font is stored as a font file in a stream embedded in the PDF file.

Returns: true if the font is embedded in the file, false otherwise.

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsFixedWidth ( )

Returns: true if all glyphs have the same width

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsForceBold ( )

Returns: true if bold glyphs should be painted with extra pixels at very small text sizes.

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsHorizontalMode ( )

Returns: true if the font uses horizontal writing mode, false for vertical writing mode.

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsItalic ( )

Returns: true if glyphs have dominant vertical strokes that are slanted.

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsSerif ( )

Returns: true if glyphs have serifs

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsSimple ( )

Returns: true for non-CID based fonts such as Type1, TrueType, and Type3

All simple fonts have the following properties:

Glyphs in the font are selected by single-byte character codes obtained from a string that is shown by the text-showing operators. Logically, these codes index into a table of 256 glyphs; the mapping from codes to glyphs is called the font's encoding. Each font program has a built-in encoding. Under some circumstances, the encoding can be altered by means described in Section 5.5.5 "Character Encoding" in PDF Reference Manual.
Each glyph has a single set of metrics. Therefore simple fonts support only horizontal writing mode.

bool pdftron::PDF::Font::IsSymbolic ( )

Returns: true if font contains characters outside the Adobe standard Latin character set.

UInt32 pdftron::PDF::Font::MapToCID ( UInt32 char_code ) const

Returns: a CID matching specified charcode.

Note: Relevant only for a Type0 font.

int pdftron::PDF::Font::MapToCID	(	const UChar *	char_data,
		int	char_data_avail,
		UInt32 &	out_charcode,
		UInt32 &	out_cid
	)		const

The function maps charcode (out_charcode) from char_data buffer to a CID (out_cid) and return the number of bytes representing the CID in the buffer.

Parameters

char_data	the input data buffer containing one or more bytes of input charcode
char_data_avail	the number of bytes in the char_data buffer
out_charcode	the first charcode in char_data buffer.
out_cid	CID corresponding to the out_charcode parsed from char_data buffer.

Returns: the number of bytes consumed by out_cid. This number must be less than or equal to char_data_avail

Note: Relevant only for a Type0 font.

UString pdftron::PDF::Font::MapToUnicode ( UInt32 char_code )

Maps the encoding specific 'charcode' to Unicode. Conversion of 'charcode' to Unicode can result in up to four Unicode characters.

Parameters

char_code	encoding specific 'charcode' that needs to be converted to Unicode.
out_uni_arr	A pointer to an array of Unicode characters where the conversion result will be stored.
in_uni_sz	The number of characters that can be written to out_uni_arr. You can assume that the function will never map to more than 10 characters.
out_char_num	The function will modify this value to return the number of Unicode characters written in 'out_uni_arr' array.

Returns: true if char_code was mapped to Unicode public area or false if the char_code was mapped to Unicode private area.

A char_code is mapped to Unicode private area when the information required for proper mapping is missing in PDF document (e.g. a predefined encoding or ToUnicode CMap).

Note: This function is not applicable to CIDFonts (e_CIDType0 and e_CIDType2) and will throw an exception if called.
