CIDFont

Overview

CIDFont is a class in Aspose.PDF FOSS for Java. Inherits from: PdfFont.

CID font (ISO 32000-1:2008, §9.7.4).

This class provides 16 methods for working with CIDFont objects in Java programs. Available methods include: CIDFont, cidToUnicode, decode, fromDictionary, getBaseFont, getDefaultWidth, getEncoding, getFontDescriptor, getFontDictionary, getFontMetrics, getToUnicode, getWidth, and 4 additional methods. All public members are accessible to any Java application after installing the Aspose.PDF FOSS for Java package. Properties: baseFont, composite, defaultWidth, encoding, fontDescriptor, fontDictionary, and 3 more.

Properties

NameTypeAccessDescription
type2booleanReadReturns true if the descendant subtype is CIDFontType2 (TrueType-housed,
glyph ids resolvable via /CIDToGIDMap).
defaultWidthdoubleReadReturns the default width (/DW).
baseFontStringReadReturns the base font name (/BaseFont).
encodingFontEncodingReadReturns the font encoding.
toUnicodeToUnicodeCMapReadReturns the ToUnicode CMap.
fontDescriptorFontDescriptorReadReturns the font descriptor.
compositebooleanReadReturns {@code true} when this is a Type0 composite font whose
content-stream encoding uses multi-byte character codes (e.g.
fontMetricsFontMetricsReadReturns the font metrics.
fontDictionaryPdfDictionaryReadReturns the underlying font dictionary.

Methods

SignatureDescription
CIDFont(fontDict: PdfDictionary, parser: PDFParser)Creates a CIDFont from a font dictionary.
cidToUnicode(cid: int)intRecovers the Unicode code point for a CID using the embedded font program,
for the common case of a CIDFontType2 (TrueType) descendant that ships
neither a {@code /ToUnicode} CMap on its parent Type0 font.
toGlyphId(cid: int)intMaps a CID to the embedded font program’s glyph id via /CIDToGIDMap
(explicit stream or the default Identity).
glyphOutline(gid: int)java.awt.geom.GeneralPathReturns the em-normalised, Y-up outline of the given glyph id from the
embedded TrueType program, or {@code null} when no embedded program is
available or the glyph cannot be parsed.
isType2()booleanReturns true if the descendant subtype is CIDFontType2 (TrueType-housed,
glyph ids resolvable via /CIDToGIDMap).
getWidth(cid: int)double
getDefaultWidth()doubleReturns the default width (/DW).
decode(charCodes: byte[])StringDecodes raw character code bytes to a Unicode string.
getBaseFont()StringReturns the base font name (/BaseFont).
getEncoding()FontEncodingReturns the font encoding.
getToUnicode()ToUnicodeCMapReturns the ToUnicode CMap.
getFontDescriptor()FontDescriptorReturns the font descriptor.
isComposite()booleanReturns {@code true} when this is a Type0 composite font whose
content-stream encoding uses multi-byte character codes (e.g.
getFontMetrics()FontMetricsReturns the font metrics.
getFontDictionary()PdfDictionaryReturns the underlying font dictionary.
fromDictionary(fontDict: PdfDictionary, parser: PDFParser)PdfFontCreates the appropriate PdfFont subclass from a font dictionary.
