NAME

       PDF::API2::Resource::Font::SynFont - Module for using synthetic Fonts.

SYNOPSIS

           #
           use PDF::API2;
           #
           $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
           $sft = $pdf->synfont($cft);
           #

METHODS

       $font = PDF::API2::Resource::Font::SynFont->new $pdf, $fontobj, %options
           Returns a synfont object.

           Valid %options are:

           -encode ... changes the encoding of the font from its default.  See perl's Encode for
           the supported values.

           -pdfname ... changes the reference-name of the font from its default.  The reference-
           name is normally generated automatically and can be retrived via $pdfname=$font->name.

           -slant ... slant/expansion factor (0.1-0.9 = slant, 1.1+ = expansion).

           -oblique ... italic angle (+/-)

           -bold ... embolding factor (0.1+, bold=1, heavy=2, ...).

           -space ... additional charspacing in em (0-1000).

           -caps ... create synthetic small-caps.

       $font = PDF::API2::Resource::Font::SynFont->new_api $api, $fontobj, %options
           Returns a synfont object. This method is different from 'new' that it needs an
           PDF::API2-object rather than a PDF::API2::PDF::File-object.
