TTMSFNCGeneralPDFLibFontInitializer Class

Initializes and caches the glyph metrics, character widths, and compressed TTF data for a single font face, providing all font information needed to embed the font in a PDF file.

API unit family: TMSFNCPDFLib.General.Android

Syntax

TTMSFNCGeneralPDFLibFontInitializer = class

Properties

Name	Description
EmbedType	Controls whether the font is embedded as a full font program or as a subset of used glyphs only.
IsFixedWidth	When True, the font is a fixed-pitch (monospaced) typeface.

Methods

Name	Description
CompressTTFData	Compresses the raw TTF font data and stores the result for later retrieval via GetTTFDataCompressed.
GetCharArray	Returns the complete character code array describing every glyph slot in the font.
GetCharWidths	Returns the per-character advance-width array for all glyphs in the font.
GetFontMetrics	Returns the metric record for this font face, including ascent, descent, cap height, italic angle, bounding box, and outline type.
GetGlyphIDs	Returns the glyph IDs corresponding to the used character array, used when embedding a font subset in the PDF file.
GetTTFDataCompressed	Returns the compressed TTF font data stream, ready for embedding in a PDF file.
GetTTFDataCompressedLength	Returns the byte length of the compressed TTF font data after CompressTTFData has been called.
GetTTFDataLength	Returns the byte length of the raw (uncompressed) TTF font data.
GetUnitsPerEm	Returns the units-per-em value for the font, used to scale font-unit measurements to point sizes.
GetUsedCharArray	Returns the subset of character codes actually used during PDF rendering, allowing subsetting of embedded fonts.
InitializeCharWidths	Populates the character width table by reading glyph advance metrics from the font file.
InitializeFontFile	Loads the font file into memory and prepares the TTF data stream for embedding.
