man PDF::API2::Resource::Font::SynFont () - Module for using synthetic Fonts.

NAME

PDF::API2::Resource::Font::SynFont - Module for using synthetic Fonts.

SYNOPSIS

    #
    use PDF::API2;
    #
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
    $sft = $pdf->synfont($cft);
    #

METHODS

Returns a synfont object. Valid CW%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 retrived via CW$pdfname=$font->name. -slant ... slant/expansion factor (0.1-0.9 = slant, 1.1+ = expansion). -oblique ... italic angle (+/-) -bold ... embolding factor (0.1+, bold=1, heavy=2, ...). -space ... additional charspacing in em (0-1000). -caps ... create synthetic small-caps. Returns a synfont object. This method is different from 'new' that it needs an PDF::API2-object rather than a PDF::API2::PDF::File-object.
