Creates a new font. This will always be the default Helvetica font (not embedded). This method is introduced because Helvetica is used in many examples.

Returns:

a BaseFont object (Helvetica, Winansi, not embedded)

Throws:

java.io.IOException - This shouldn't occur ever

DocumentException - This shouldn't occur ever

Since:

2.1.1

public static BaseFont createFont (java.lang.String name, java.lang.String encoding, boolean embedded) throws DocumentException , java.io.IOException

Creates a new font. This font can be one of the 14 built in types, a Type1 font referred to by an AFM or PFM file, a TrueType font (simple or collection) or a CJK font from the Adobe Asian Font Pack. TrueType fonts and CJK fonts can have an optional style modifier appended to the name. These modifiers are: Bold, Italic and BoldItalic. An example would be "STSong-Light,Bold". Note that this modifiers do not work if the font is embedded. Fonts in TrueType collections are addressed by index such as "msgothic.ttc,1". This would get the second font (indexes start at 0), in this case "MS PGothic". The fonts are cached and if they already exist they are extracted from the cache, not parsed again. Besides the common encodings described by name, custom encodings can also be made. These encodings will only work for the single byte fonts Type1 and TrueType. The encoding string starts with a '#' followed by "simple" or "full". If "simple" there is a decimal for the first character position and then a list of hex values representing the Unicode codes that compose that encoding.
The "simple" encoding is recommended for TrueType fonts as the "full" encoding risks not matching the character with the right glyph if not done with care.
The "full" encoding is specially aimed at Type1 fonts where the glyphs have to be described by non standard names like the Tex math fonts. Each group of three elements compose a code position: the one byte code order in decimal or as 'x' (x cannot be the space), the name and the Unicode character used to access the glyph. The space must be assigned to character position 32 otherwise text justification will not work. Example for a "simple" encoding that includes the Unicode character space, A, B and ecyrillic: "# simple 32 0020 0041 0042 0454" Example for a "full" encoding for a Type1 Tex font: "# full 'A' nottriangeqlleft 0041 'B' dividemultiply 0042 32 space 0020" This method calls:
createFont(name, encoding, embedded, true, null, null);

Parameters:

name - the name of the font or its location on file

encoding - the encoding to be applied to this font

embedded - true if the font is to be embedded in the PDF

Returns:

returns a new font. This font may come from the cache

Throws:

For the other fonts the array has a single element with {"", "", "", font name}.

Returns:

the family name of the font

public java.lang.String[] getCodePagesSupported ()

Gets the code pages supported by the font. This has only meaning with True Type fonts.

Returns:

the code pages supported by the font

enumerateTTCNames public static java.lang.String[] enumerateTTCNames (java.lang.String ttcFile) throws DocumentException , java.io.IOException

Enumerates the postscript font names present inside a True Type Collection.

Parameters:

ttcFile - the file name of the font

Returns:

the postscript font names

Throws:

DocumentException - on error

java.io.IOException - on error

public static java.lang.String[] enumerateTTCNames (byte[] ttcArray) throws DocumentException , java.io.IOException

Enumerates the postscript font names present inside a True Type Collection.

Parameters:

ttcArray - the font as a byte array

Returns:

the postscript font names

Throws:

DocumentException - on error

java.io.IOException - on error

public void setForceWidthsOutput (boolean forceWidthsOutput)

Set to true to force the generation of the widths array.

Parameters:

forceWidthsOutput - true to force the generation of the widths array

public void setDirectTextToByte (boolean directTextToByte)

Sets the conversion of char directly to byte by casting. This is a low level feature to put the bytes directly in the content stream without passing through String.getBytes().

Parameters:

directTextToByte - New value of property directTextToByte.

public void setSubset (boolean subset)

Indicates if all the glyphs and widths for that particular encoding should be included in the document. When set to true only the glyphs used will be included in the font. When set to false and addSubsetRange(int[]) was not called the full font will be included otherwise just the characters ranges will be included.

Parameters:

subset - new value of property subset

getResourceStream public static java.io.InputStream getResourceStream (java.lang.String key)

Gets the font resources.

Parameters:

key - the full name of the resource

Returns:

the InputStream to get the resource or null if not found

getResourceStream public static java.io.InputStream getResourceStream (java.lang.String key, java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

Gets the font resources.

Parameters:

key - the full name of the resource

loader - the ClassLoader to load the resource or null to try the ones available

Returns:

the InputStream to get the resource or null if not found

Gets the Unicode equivalent to a CID. The (inexistent) CID is translated as '\n'. It has only meaning with CJK fonts with Identity encoding.

Parameters:

c - the CID code

Returns:

the Unicode equivalent

Parameters:

c - the character

advance - the character advance normalized to 1000 units

Returns:

true if the advance was set, false otherwise

public static java.util.ArrayList getDocumentFonts ( PdfReader reader)

Gets a list of all document fonts. Each element of the ArrayList contains a Object[]{String,PRIndirectReference} with the font name and the indirect reference to it.

Parameters:

reader - the document where the fonts are to be listed from

Returns:

the list of fonts and references

int page)

Gets a list of the document fonts in a particular page. Each element of the ArrayList contains a Object[]{String,PRIndirectReference} with the font name and the indirect reference to it.

Parameters:

reader - the document where the fonts are to be listed from

page - the page to list the fonts from

Returns:

the list of fonts and references

public int[] getCharBBox (int c)

Gets the smallest box enclosing the character contours. It will return null if the font has not the information or the character has no contours, as in the case of the space, for example. Characters with no contours may also return [0,0,0,0].

Parameters:

c - the character to get the contour bounding box from

Returns:

an array of four floats with the bounding box in the format [llx,lly,urx,ury] or public void correctArabicAdvance ()

iText expects Arabic Diactrics (tashkeel) to have zero advance but some fonts, most notably those that come with Windows, like times.ttf, have non-zero advance for those characters. This method makes those character to have zero width advance and work correctly in the iText Arabic shaping and reordering context. public void addSubsetRange (int[] range)

Adds a character range when subsetting. The range is an int array where the first element is the start range inclusive and the second element is the end range inclusive. Several ranges are allowed in the same array.

Parameters:

range - the character range

Returns:

the compression level (0 = best speed, 9 = best compression, -1 is default)

Since:

2.1.3

public void setCompressionLevel (int compressionLevel)

Sets the compression level to be used for the font streams.

Parameters:

compressionLevel - a value between 0 (best speed) and 9 (best compression)

Since:

2.1.3
