=head1 NAME
PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::CoreFont - Module for using the 14 standard PDF built-in Fonts (plus 15 Windows Fonts).
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#
use PDF::Builder;
#
my $pdf = PDF::Builder->new();
my $cft = $pdf->font('Times-Roman');
#my $cft = $pdf->corefont('Times-Roman');
#
my $page = $pdf->page();
my $text = $page->text();
$text->font($cft, 20);
$text->translate(200, 700);
$text->text("Hello, World!");
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
$font = PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::CoreFont->new($pdf, $fontname, %options)
=over
Returns a corefont object.
Valid %options are:
=over
=item encode
Changes the encoding of the font from its default.
See I<perl's Encode> for the supported values. B<Warning:> only single byte
encodings are permitted. Multibyte encodings such as 'utf8' are forbidden.
=item pdfname
Changes the reference-name of the font from its default.
The reference-name is normally generated automatically and can be
retrieved via C<$pdfname=$font->name()>.
=back
=back
=head2 Supported typefaces
B<standard PDF types>
=over
=item * helvetica, helveticaoblique, helveticabold, helvetiaboldoblique
May have Arial substituted on some systems (e.g., Windows)
=item * courier, courieroblique, courierbold, courierboldoblique
Fixed pitch, may have Courier New substituted on some systems (e.g., Windows)
=item * timesroman, timesitalic, timesbold, timesbolditalic
May have Times New Roman substituted on some systems (e.g., Windows)
=item * symbol, zapfdingbats
=back
B<Primarily Windows typefaces>
=over
=item * georgia, georgiaitalic, georgiabold, georgiabolditalic
=item * verdana, verdanaitalic, verdanabold, verdanabolditalic
=item * trebuchet, trebuchetitalic, trebuchetbold, trebuchetbolditalic
=item * bankgothic, bankgothicitalic, bankgothicbold, bankgothicitalic
Free versions of Bank Gothic are often only medium weight Roman (bankgothic).
=item * webdings, wingdings
=back
Keep in mind that only font metrics (widths) are provided with PDF::Builder;
the fonts themselves are provided by the reader's machine (often packaged
with the operating system, or obtained separately by the user). To use a
specific font may require you to obtain one or more files from some source.
If a font (typeface and variant) is not available on a given reader's
machine, a substitution I<may> be automatically made. For example, Helvetica is
usually not shipped with Windows machines, and Arial might be substituted.
For most characters, the glyph widths will be the same, but this can not be
guaranteed!
PDF::Builder currently uses the [typeface].pm files to map glyph names to
code points (single byte encodings only) and to look up the glyph widths for
character positioning. There is no guarantee that a given font file includes
all the desired glyphs, nor that the widths will be absolutely the same, even
in different releases of the same font.
