.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Graphics::Primitive::Font represents the various options that are available
when rendering text.  The options here may or may not have an effect on your
rendering.  They represent a cross-section of the features provided by
various drivers.  Setting them should \fBnot\fR break anything, but may not
have an effect if the driver doesn't understand the option.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.IX Header "Attributes"
.SS "antialias_modes"
.IX Subsection "antialias_modes"
Set the antialiasing mode for this font. Possible values are default, none,
gray and subpixel.
.SS "family"
.IX Subsection "family"
Set this font's family.
.SS "hint_metrics"
.IX Subsection "hint_metrics"
Controls whether to hint font metrics.  Hinting means quantizing them so that
they are integer values in device space.  This improves the consistency of
letter and line spacing, however it also means that text will be laid out
differently at different zoom factors.  May not be supported by all drivers.
.SS "hint_style"
.IX Subsection "hint_style"
Set the the type of hinting to do on font outlines.  Hinting is the process of
fitting outlines to the pixel grid in order to improve the appearance of the
result. Since hinting outlines involves distorting them, it also reduces the
faithfulness to the original outline shapes. Not all of the outline hinting
styles are supported by all drivers.  Options are default, none, slight,
medium and full.
.SS "size"
.IX Subsection "size"
Set/Get the size of this font.
.SS "slant"
.IX Subsection "slant"
Set/Get the slant of this font.  Valid values are normal, italic and oblique.
.SS "subpixel_order"
.IX Subsection "subpixel_order"
Set the order of color elements within each pixel on the display device when
rendering with subpixel antialiasing.  Value values are default, rgb, bgr,
vrgb and vbgr.
.SS "variant"
.IX Subsection "variant"
Set/Get the variant of this font.  Valid values are normal or small-caps.
.SS "weight"
.IX Subsection "weight"
Set/Get the weight of this font.  Value valies are normal and bold.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "new"
.IX Subsection "new"
Creates a new Graphics::Primitive::Font.
.SS "derive"
.IX Subsection "derive"
Clone this font but change one or more of it's attributes by passing in a
hashref of options:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  my $new = $font\->derive({ attr => $newvalue });
.Ve
.PP
The returned font will be identical to the cloned one, save the attributes
specified.
