## Class Overview

A font that is used to draw text on a page. It corresponds to a Font Resource in a PDF file. More than one page may reference the same Font object. A Font has a number of attributes, including an array of widths, the character encoding, and the font's resource name. PDF document can contain several different types of fonts and Font class represents a single, flat interface around all PDF font types. There are two main classes of fonts in PDF: simple and composite fonts. Simple fonts are Type1, TrueType, and Type3 fonts. All simple fonts have the following properties:
- Glyphs in the font are selected by single-byte character codes obtained from a string that is shown by the text-showing operators. Logically, these codes index into a table of 256 glyphs; the mapping from codes to glyphs is called the font's encoding. Each font program has a built-in encoding. Under some circumstances, the encoding can be altered by means described in Section 5.5.5 "Character Encoding" in PDF Reference Manual.
- Each glyph has a single set of metrics. Therefore simple fonts support only horizontal writing mode.
A composite font is one whose glyphs are obtained from a font like object called a CIDFont (e.g. CIDType0Font and CIDType0Font). A composite font is represented by a font dictionary whose Subtype value is Type0. The Type 0 font is known as the root font, while its associated CIDFont is called its descendant. CID-keyed fonts provide a convenient and efficient method for defining multiple-byte character encodings and fonts with a large number of glyphs. These capabilities provide great flexibility for representing text in writing systems for languages with large character sets, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK).

- the font's encoding array (the mapping of character codes to glyphs). The array contains 256 Strings. If a String is not NULL, it containing the name of the glyph for the code point corresponding to the index. If it is NULL, then the name of the glyph is unchanged from that specified by the font's builtin encoding. For a Type 3 font, all glyph names will be present in the encoding array, and NULL entries correspond to un-encoded code points.

  Note: The Font object is the owner of the array.

#### public PathData getGlyphPath (long char_code, boolean conics2cubics)

The function retrieves the glyph outline for a given character code.

Note: the function can return only the following operators (Element::e_moveto, Element::e_lineto, Element::e_cubicto and optionaly Element::e_conicto if conics2cubics parameter is set to true.

Note: This function is not applicable to Type3 font and will throw an exception. Use GetType3GlyphStream instead.

Note: Check PathData.isDefined to see if the char_code was mapped to 'undefined character code'.

##### Parameters

char_code | character to query
conics2cubics | if set to true converts all quadratic Bezier curves to cubic Beziers, otherwise no coversion is performed.

##### Returns

- A PathData object containing the path information..

#### public PathData getGlyphPath (long char_code, boolean conics2cubics, Matrix2D transform)

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public ShapedText getShapedText (String text_to_shape)

Creates a set of positioned glyphs corresponding to the visual representation of the provided text string.

The shaped text will take into account any advanced positioning and substitution features provided by an underylying embedded font file. For example, these features could include kerning, ligatures, and diacritic positioning. Typically the resulting shaped text would be fed into ElementBuilder.CreateShapedTextRun()

Note: Shaping requires a Type0 font with an embedded font file which covers all the unicode codepoints in the source text. For best results, this font should use the e_Indices encoding scheme, as shaping features that combine multiple codepoints into one glyph (ligatures, for example) will not work well in non-index encoded fonts.

#### public Obj getType3GlyphStream (long char_code)

Get the type3 glyph stream.

Note: Relevant only for a Type3 font.

##### Parameters

char_code | the char_code

##### Returns

- a SDF/Cos glyph stream for the given char_code. If specified char_code is not found in CharPorcs dictionary the function returns NULL.

#### public short getUnitsPerEm ()

Get the units per EM square for the current font.

Note: Only relevant for scalable formats (such as TrueType and Type1).

Note: This function is not applicable to Type3 font and will throw an exception. Use GetType3FontMatrix instead.

##### Returns

- the number of font units per EM square for this face. This is typically 2048 for TrueType fonts, 1000 for Type1 fonts

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public double getWidth (long char_code)

Get the current font width.

##### Parameters

char_code | the given character code

##### Returns

- advance width, measured in character space units for the glyph matching given character code. The function gets the advance width of the font glyph. The advance width is the amount by which the current point advances when the glyph is drawn. The advance width may not correspond to the visible width of the glyph and for this reason, the advance width cannot be used to determine the glyphs bounding boxes.

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isAllCap ()

Checks if font is all cap.

##### Returns

- true if font contains no lowercase letters

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isCFF ()

Checks if current font is CFF.

Note: Only Type1 and Type1C fonts can be represented in CFF format

##### Returns

- true if the embedded font is represented as CFF (Compact Font Format).

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isEmbedded ()

Tests whether or not the specified font is stored as a font file in a stream embedded in the PDF file.

##### Returns

- true if the font is embedded in the file, false otherwise.

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isFixedWidth ()

Checks if current font is fixed width.

##### Returns

- true if all glyphs have the same width

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isForceBold ()

Checks if font is force bold.

##### Returns

- true if bold glyphs should be painted with extra pixels at very small text sizes.

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isHorizontalMode ()

Checks if font is in horizontal mode.

##### Returns

- true if the font uses horizontal writing mode, false for vertical writing mode.

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isItalic ()

Checks if font is italic.

##### Returns

- true if glyphs have dominant vertical strokes that are slanted.

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isSerif ()

Checks if font is serif.

##### Returns

- true if glyphs have serifs

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isSimple ()

Checks if font is simple.

##### Returns

- true for non-CID based fonts such as Type1, TrueType, and Type3 All simple fonts have the following properties:
  - Glyphs in the font are selected by single-byte character codes obtained from a string that is shown by the text-showing operators. Logically, these codes index into a table of 256 glyphs; the mapping from codes to glyphs is called the font's encoding. Each font program has a built-in encoding. Under some circumstances, the encoding can be altered by means described in Section 5.5.5 "Character Encoding" in PDF Reference Manual. - Each glyph has a single set of metrics. Therefore simple fonts support only horizontal writing mode.

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public boolean isSymbolic ()

Checks if font is symbolic.

##### Returns

- true if font contains characters outside the Adobe standard Latin character set.

##### Throws

PDFNetException |

#### public char[] mapToUnicode (long char_code)

Maps the encoding specific 'charcode' to Unicode. Conversion of 'charcode' to Unicode can result in upto four Unicode characters.

Note: This function is not applicable to CIDFonts (e_CIDType0 and e_CIDType2) and will throw an exception if called.

##### Parameters

char_code | encoding specific 'charcode' that needs to be converted to Unicode.

##### Returns

- true if char_code was mapped to Unicode public area or false if the char_code was mapped to Unicode private area. A char_code is mapped to Unicode private area when the information required for proper mapping is missing in PDF document (e.g. a predefined encoding or ToUnicode CMap).

##### Throws

PDFNetException |
