PDF::Builder::ResourceUsernContributed)PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::BdFont(3) NAME PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::BdFont - Module for using bitmapped Fonts. SYNOPSIS # use PDF::Builder; # $pdf = PDF::Builder->new(); $sft = $pdf->bdfont($file); # This creates a bitmapped font from a .bdf (bitmap distribution font) file. The default is to use square elements, and the style can be changed to use filled dots (looking more like a dot-matrix printer). The font will be embedded in the PDF file. Bitmapped fonts are quite rough, low resolution, and difficult to read, so unless you're a sadist who wants to force readers back to the good old days of dot-matrix printers and bitmapped X terminals, try to limit the use of such a font to decorative or novelty effects, such as chapter titles and major headings. Have mercy on your readers and use a real font (TrueType, etc.) for body text! METHODS $font = PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::BdFont->new($pdf, $font, %options) $font = PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::BdFont->new($pdf, $font) Returns a BmpFont object. Valid %options are: -pdfname ... changes the reference-name of the font from its default. The reference-name is normally generated automatically and can be retrieved via "$pdfname=$font-"name()>. -style ... a value of 'block' (default) assembles a character from contiguous square blocks. A value of 'dot' assembles a character from overlapping filled circles, in the style of a dot matrix printer. AUTHOR alfred reibenschuh perl v5.32.1 2021-PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::BdFont(3)
