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.
