NAME

       PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::Postscript - Support routines for using PostScript (Type 1) fonts

       Inherits from PDF::Builder::Resource::Font

METHODS

   new
           PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::Postscript->new($pdf, $psfile, %opts)

           Create an object for a PostScript font. Handles ASCII (.pfa), binary (.pfb), and T1 (.t1) font files,
           as well as ASCII (.afm) and binary (.pfm) metrics files.

           See "PS Fonts" in PDF::Builder::Docs for additional information.

           Valid %opts are:

           encode
               Changes  the  encoding  of  the  font  from its default. Notice that the encoding (not the entire
               font's glyph list) is shown in a PDF object (record), listing 256  glyphs  associated  with  this
               encoding (and that are available in this font).

           afmfile
               Specifies the location of the ASCII font metrics file (.afm). It may be used with either an ASCII
               (.pfa) or binary (.pfb) glyph file.

               "afm_file" is still accepted as an (older) alternative to "afmfile".

           pfmfile
               Specifies  the  location  of  the  binary font metrics file (.pfm). It may be used with either an
               ASCII (.pfa) or binary (.pfb) glyph file.

               "pfm_file" is still accepted as an (older) alternative to "pfmfile".

           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().

           dokern
               Enables kerning if data is available.

               "kerning" is still accepted as an (older) alternative to "dokern".
