NAME
SWF::Builder::Character::Font - SWF font object
SYNOPSIS
my $font = $mc->new_font('c:/windows/font/arial.ttf');
$font->add_glyph('0123456789');DESCRIPTION
This module creates SWF fonts from TrueType fonts.
- $font = $mc->new_font( $fontfile [, $fontname] )
-
returns a new font. $fontfile is a font file name. It should be a TrueType font file (ttf/ttc). Optional $fontname is a font name referred by HTMLs in dynamic texts. The font name is taken from the TrueType file if not defined.
- $font->embed( [$embed] )
-
sets/gets a flag to embed the font or not.
- $font->is_readonly
-
gets a permission flag to use the font only 'preview & print'. If the flag is set, the font cannot be used for text field.
- $font->get_average_width
-
gets the average character width.
- $font->add_glyph( $char_string [, $e_char] )
-
adds glyph data of the characters of the string to the font. Usually, SWF::Builder::character::Text adds required glyph data automatically. It is necessary to do add_glyph if the font is used for a dynamic text or a text field which will be changed at playing time. if $e_char is present, add_glyph adds glyphs of characters from first character of $char_string to first character of $e_char. For example, $font->add_glyph('a', 'z') adds glyphs of all lower case alphabet.
- $font->LanguageCode( $code )
-
sets the spoken language of texts to which the font is applied. $code can take 'none', 'Latin', 'Japanese', 'Korean', 'Simplified Chinese', and 'Traditional Chinese'. It can also take a number, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, or an initial, 'n', 'L', 'J', 'K', 'S'(or 'C'), and 'T', respectively.
