NAME

PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::SynFont - Module for using synthetic Fonts.

SYNOPSIS

    #
    use PDF::Builder;
    #
    $pdf = PDF::Builder->new();
    $sft = $pdf->synfont($cft);
    #

METHODS

$font = PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::SynFont->new($pdf, $fontobj, %options)

Returns a synfont object.

Valid %options are:

-encode ... changes the encoding of the font from its default. See Perl's Encode for the supported values.

-pdfname ... changes the reference-name of the font from its default. The reference-name is normally generated automatically and can be retrieved via $pdfname=$font->name().

-slant ... slant/expansion factor (0.1-0.9 = slant, 1.1+ = expansion).

-oblique ... italic angle (+/-). While it's unlikely that anyone will want to slant characters at +/-360 degrees, they should be aware that these will be treated as an angle of 0 degrees (deg2rad() wraps around).

-bold ... embolding factor (0.1+, bold=1, heavy=2, ...).

-space ... additional charspacing in em (0-1000).

-caps ... create synthetic small-caps.
