Class Type1MetricFont

Type1MetricFont class

Type1 metric font implementation. This type1 font is created using metrics only. Glyphs retrieval functions and some other that require real font are not allowed, not allowed functions throw exception Type1NotSupportedException. Other properties (FontName, Weight, Metrics and Encoding) are used from metrics file.

Examples

Note: If metrics file defines Encoding as “FontSpecific”, user should provide the specific encoding with following way:

string[] zapfDingbatsEncoding = new string[256] {null, null, ... , "space", "a1", ...};
FontEnvironment.Current.FontSpecificEncodings.RegisterEncoding("ZapfDingbats", zapfDingbatsEncoding);

System::ArrayPtr<System::String> zapfDingbatsEncoding = System::MakeArray<System::String>({nullptr, nullptr, …, u"space", u"a1", …}); FontEnvironment::get_Current()->get_FontSpecificEncodings()->RegisterEncoding(u"ZapfDingbats", zapfDingbatsEncoding);
