NAME

Text::PDF::SFont - PDF Standard inbuilt font resource object. Inherits from Text::PDF::Dict

METHODS


Text::PDF::SFont->new($parent, $name, $pdfname)


Text::PDF::SFont->new($parent, $name, $pdfname)

Creates a new font object with given parent and name. The name must be from one of the core 14 base fonts included with PDF. These are:

     Courier,     Courier-Bold,   Courier-Oblique,   Courier-BoldOblique
     Times-Roman, Times-Bold,     Times-Italic,      Times-BoldItalic
     Helvetica,   Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica-BoldOblique
     Symbol,      ZapfDingbats

The $pdfname is the name that this particular font object will be referenced by throughout the PDF file. If you want to play silly games with naming, then you can write the code to do it!

All fonts in this system are full PDF objects.
