NAME¶

PDF::API2::Resource::UniFont - Unicode Font Support

METHODS¶

$font = PDF::API2::Resource::UniFont->new($pdf, @fontspecs, %options);

Returns a uni-font object.

FONTSPECS: fonts can be registered using the following hash-ref:

    {
        font   => $fontobj,     # the font to be registered
        blocks => $blockspec,   # the unicode blocks, the font is being registered for
        codes  => $codespec,    # the unicode codepoints, -"-
    }
    

BLOCKSPECS:

    [
        1, 3,    # register font for blocks 1 and 3
        [1, 3],  # register font for blocks 1 .. 3
    ]
    

CODESPECS:

    [
        1, 3,    # register font for codepoints 1 and 3
        [1, 3],  # register font for codepoints 1 .. 3
    ]
    

NOTE: if you want to register a font for the entire unicode space (ie. U+0000 .. U+FFFF), then simply specify a font-object without the hash-ref.

Valid %options are:

  '-encode' ... changes the encoding of the font from its default.
    (see "perldoc Encode" for a list of valid tags)
