METHODS

$font = PDF::Builder::Resource::BaseFont->new($pdf, $name): Return a font resource object.
$descriptor = $font->descrByData(): Return the font's FontDescriptor key structure based on the font's data.

$name = $font->fontname(): Return the font's name (a.k.a. display name).
$name = $font->altname(): Return the font's alternative name (a.k.a. Windows name for a PostScript font).
$name = $font->subname(): Return the font's subname (a.k.a. font variant).
$name = $font->apiname(): Return the font's name to be used internally (should be equal to $font->name()).
$issymbol = $font->issymbol(): Return the font's symbol flag (i.e., is this a symbol font).
$iscff = $font->iscff(): Return the font's Compact Font Format flag.

($llx,$lly, $urx,$ury) = $font->fontbbox(): Return the font's bounding box.
$capheight = $font->capheight(): Return the font's capheight value.
$xheight = $font->xheight(): Return the font's xheight value.
$missingwidth = $font->missingwidth(): Return the font's missingwidth value.
$maxwidth = $font->maxwidth(): Return the font's maxwidth value.
$avgwidth = $font->avgwidth(): Return the font's avgwidth (average width) value.
$flags = $font->flags(): Return the font's flags value.
$stemv = $font->stemv(): Return the font's stemv value.
$stemh = $font->stemh(): Return the font's stemh value.
$italicangle = $font->italicangle(): Return the font's italicangle value.
$isfixedpitch = $font->isfixedpitch(): Return the font's isfixedpitch flag.
$underlineposition = $font->underlineposition(): Return the font's underlineposition value.
$underlinethickness = $font->underlinethickness(): Return the font's underlinethickness value.
$ascender = $font->ascender(): Return the font's ascender value.
$descender = $font->descender(): Return the font's descender value.

@names = $font->glyphNames(): Return the defined glyph names of the font.
$glNum = $font->glyphNum(): Return the number of defined glyph names of the font.
$uni = $font->uniByGlyph($char): Return the unicode by glyph name.
$uni = $font->uniByEnc($char): Return the Unicode by the font's encoding map.
$uni = $font->uniByMap($char): Return the Unicode by the font's default map.
$char = $font->encByGlyph($glyph): Return the character by the given glyph name of the font's encoding map.
$char = $font->encByUni($uni): Return the character by the given Unicode of the font's encoding map.
$char = $font->mapByGlyph($glyph): Return the character by the given glyph name of the font's default map.
$char = $font->mapByUni($uni): Return the character by the given Unicode of the font's default map.
$name = $font->glyphByUni($unicode): Return the glyph's name by the font's Unicode map. BEWARE: non-standard glyph-names are mapped onto the ms-symbol area (0xF000).
$name = $font->glyphByEnc($char): Return the glyph's name by the font's encoding map.
$name = $font->glyphByMap($char): Return the glyph's name by the font's default map.
$width = $font->wxByGlyph($glyph): Return the glyph's width. This is a value, that when divided by 1000 and multiplied by the font size (height in points), gives the advance width to the next character's start. Typically, the width will be under 1000.
$width = $font->wxByUni($uni): Return the Unicode character's width. This is a value, that when divided by 1000 and multiplied by the font size (height in points), gives the advance width to the next character's start. Typically, the width will be under 1000.
$width = $font->wxByEnc($char): Return the character's width based on the current encoding. This is a value, that when divided by 1000 and multiplied by the font size (height in points), gives the advance width to the next character's start. Typically, the width will be under 1000.
$flag = $font->wxMissingByEnc($char): Return true if the character's width (based on the current encoding) is supplied by "missing width" of font.
$width = $font->wxByMap($char): Return the character's width based on the font's default encoding. This is a value, that when divided by 1000 and multiplied by the font size (height in points), gives the advance width to the next character's start. Typically, the width will be under 1000.
$wd = $font->width($text): Return the width of $text as if it were at size 1. BEWARE: works only correctly if a proper Perl string is used, either in native or UTF-8 format (check utf8-flag).
@widths = $font->width_array($text): Return (as an array) the widths of the words in $text as if they were at size 1.

STRING METHODS

$utf8string = $font->utfByStr($string): Return the utf8-string from string based on the font's encoding map.
$string = $font->strByUtf($utf8_string): Return the encoded string from utf8-string based on the font's encoding map.
$pdf_string = $font->textByStr($string): Return a properly formatted representation of $string for use in the PDF.
$pdf_string = $font->textByStrKern($string): Return a properly formatted representation of $string, with kerning, for use in the PDF.
