NAME

       PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::CoreFont - Module for using the 14 standard PDF built-in
       Fonts (plus 15 Windows Fonts).

SYNOPSIS

           #
           use PDF::Builder;
           #
           my $pdf = PDF::Builder->new();
           my $cft = $pdf->font('Times-Roman');
          #my $cft = $pdf->corefont('Times-Roman');
           #
           my $page = $pdf->page();
           my $text = $page->text();
           $text->font($cft, 20);
           $text->translate(200, 700);
           $text->text("Hello, World!");

METHODS

   new
           $font = PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::CoreFont->new($pdf, $fontname, %options)

           Returns a corefont object.

           Valid %options are:

           encode
               Changes the encoding of the font from its default.  See perl's Encode for the
               supported values. Warning: only single byte encodings are permitted. Multibyte
               encodings such as 'utf8' are forbidden.

           pdfname
               Changes the reference-name of the font from its default.  The reference-name is
               normally generated automatically and can be retrieved via
               "$pdfname=$font-"name()>.

   Supported typefaces
       standard PDF types

       •   helvetica, helveticaoblique, helveticabold, helvetiaboldoblique

           May have Arial substituted on some systems (e.g., Windows)

       •   courier, courieroblique, courierbold, courierboldoblique

           Fixed pitch, may have Courier New substituted on some systems (e.g., Windows)

       •   timesroman, timesitalic, timesbold, timesbolditalic

           May have Times New Roman substituted on some systems (e.g., Windows)

       •   symbol, zapfdingbats

       Primarily Windows typefaces

       •   georgia, georgiaitalic, georgiabold, georgiabolditalic

       •   verdana, verdanaitalic, verdanabold, verdanabolditalic

       •   trebuchet, trebuchetitalic, trebuchetbold, trebuchetbolditalic

       •   bankgothic, bankgothicitalic, bankgothicbold, bankgothicitalic

           Free versions of Bank Gothic are often only medium weight Roman (bankgothic).

       •   webdings, wingdings

       Keep in mind that only font metrics (widths) are provided with PDF::Builder; the fonts
       themselves are provided by the reader's machine (often packaged with the operating system,
       or obtained separately by the user). To use a specific font may require you to obtain one
       or more files from some source.

       If a font (typeface and variant) is not available on a given reader's machine, a
       substitution may be automatically made. For example, Helvetica is usually not shipped with
       Windows machines, and Arial might be substituted.  For most characters, the glyph widths
       will be the same, but this can not be guaranteed!

       PDF::Builder currently uses the [typeface].pm files to map glyph names to code points
       (single byte encodings only) and to look up the glyph widths for character positioning.
       There is no guarantee that a given font file includes all the desired glyphs, nor that the
       widths will be absolutely the same, even in different releases of the same font.

   is_standard
           $bool = $class->is_standard($name)

           Returns true if $name is an exact, case-sensitive match for one of the standard font
           names shown above.

   loadallfonts
           PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::CoreFont->loadallfonts()

           "Requires in" all fonts available as corefonts.
