NAME
PDF::Builder::Resource::CIDFont - Base class for CID fonts
Inherits from PDF::Builder::Resource::BaseFont
METHODS
new
$font = PDF::Builder::Resource::CIDFont->new($pdf, $name)Returns a cid-font object, base class for all CID-based fonts.
glyphByCId
$n = $font->glyphByCId($gid)Returns a character's glyph name (string), given its glyph ID.
uniByCId
$u = $font->uniByCId($gid)Returns a character's Unicode point, given its glyph ID. If no match, return U+0000.
cidByUni
$c = $font->cidByUni($uid)Returns a glyph ID, given its Unicode point.
cidByEnc
$c = $font->cidByEnc($char)Returns a character's glyph ID, given its encoding (single byte value 0 to 255).
wxByCId
$w = $font->wxByCId($gid)Returns a character's width, given its glyph ID. Typically this is based on a 1000 unit wide grid.
wxByUni
$w = $font->wxByUni($uid)Returns a character's width, given its Unicode point. Typically this is based on a 1000 unit wide grid.
wxByEnc
$w = $font->wxByEnc($enc)Returns a character's width, given its encoding (a single byte character in the range 0 to 255). Typically this is based on a 1000 unit wide grid.
width
$w = $font->width($string)Returns a string's width. This is typically based on a 1000 wide grid for each glyph.
width_cid
$w = $font->width_cid($gid)Returns a character's width, given its glyph ID. This is typically based on a 1000 wide grid for a glyph.
cidsByStr
$cidstring = $font->cidsByStr($string)Returns the cid-string (as a single text string, not an array) from string, based on the font's encoding map.
cidsByUtf
$cidstring = $font->cidsByUtf($utf8string)Returns the CID-encoded string (a text string, not an array) from utf8-string.
textByStr
$cid_string = $font->textByStr($text)Returns a cid text string, given a text string.
textByStrKern
$cid_string = $font->textByStrKern($text, $size, $indent)Returns a cid string, given character text, size, and indentation.
text
$stream_str = $font->text($text, $size, $indent)Returns a PDF text stream-ready code block to output the given text.
text_cid
$stream_str = $font->text_cid($text, $size)Returns a PDF text stream-ready output using glyph IDs, given input text and size.
text_cid_kern
$font->text_cid_kern($text, $size, $indent)Returns a PDF output-ready stream command using glyph IDs, given text, size, and indentation.
encodeByName
$font = $font->encodeByName($enc)Returns updated $font object, given an input encoding.
glyphNum
$g_or_w = $font->glyphNum()If 'glyphs' table is defined for a font, return its size; otherwise, return the 'wx' widths table size.
