PDF::Builder::Resource::UniFont - Unicode Font Support

METHODS

new

            

              
              
$font = PDF::Builder::Resource::UniFont->new($pdf, @fontspecs, %opts)
            
          

Returns a uni-font object.

FONTSPECS: fonts can be registered using the following hash-ref:

            

              
              
{
    font   => $fontobj,     # the font to be registered
    blocks => $blockspec,   # the unicode blocks the font is being registered for
    codes  => $codespec,    # the unicode codepoints, -"-
}
            
          

BLOCKSPECS:

            

              
              
[
     $block1, $block3,    # register font for block 1 + 3
    [$blockA, $blockZ],   # register font for blocks A .. Z
]
            
          

CODESPECS:

            

              
              
[
     $cp1, $cp3,          # register font for codepoint 1 + 3
    [$cpA, $cpZ],         # register font for codepoints A .. Z
]
            
          

NOTE: if you want to register a font for the entire unicode space (ie. U+0000 .. U+FFFF), then simply specify a font-object without the hash-ref.
