Imager::Font::Type1 - low-level functions for Type1 fonts
Imager::Font::T1 is deprecated.
T1Lib is unmaintained and has serious bugs when built on 64-bit systems. Freetype 2 has Type 1 font support and is supported by Imager via Imager::Font::FT2.
Imager::Font creates a Imager::Font::Type1 object when asked to create a font object based on a .pfb file.
Imager::Font::Type1 object
.pfb
See Imager::Font to see how to use this type.
This class provides low-level functions that require the caller to perform data validation
By default Imager no longer creates the t1lib.log log file. You can re-enable that by calling Imager::init() with the t1log option:
t1log
Imager::init(t1log=>1);
This must be called before creating any fonts.
Currently specific to Imager::Font::Type1, you can use the following flags when drawing text or calculating a bounding box:
underline - Draw the text with an underline.
underline
overline - Draw the text with an overline.
overline
strikethrough - Draw the text with a strikethrough.
strikethrough
Obviously, if you're calculating the bounding box the size of the line is included in the box, and the line isn't drawn :)
T1Lib supports multiple levels of anti-aliasing, by default, if you request anti-aliased output, Imager::Font::T1 will use the maximum level.
You can override this with the set_t1_aa() method:
Usage:
$font->set_aa_level(1); Imager::Font::T1->set_aa_level(2);
Sets the T1Lib anti-aliasing level either for the specified font, or for new font objects.
The only parameter must be 1 or 2.
Returns true on success.
