NAME
PDF::API2::Resource::Font::SynFont - Module for creating synthetic Fonts.
SYNOPSIS
my $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
my $base_font = $pdf->font('Helvetica');
# Create a condensed synthetic font
my $condensed = $pdf->synthetic_font($base_font, hscale => 80);
# Compare the two fonts
my $text = $pdf->page->text();
$text->font($base_font, 18);
$text->distance(72, 720);
$text->text('Hello World!');
$text->font($condensed, 18);
$text->distance(0, -36);
$text->text('Hello World!');

DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to create a custom font based on an existing font, adjusting the
scale, stroke thickness, angle, and other properties of each glyph.
FONT OPTIONS
hscale
A percentage to condense (less than 100) or expand (greater than 100) the glyphs
horizontally.
angle
A number of degrees to lean the glyphs to the left (negative angle) or to the right
(positive angle).
bold
A stroke width, in thousandths of a text unit, to add to the glyph's outline, creating a
bold effect.
smallcaps
Set to true to replace lower-case characters with small versions of their upper-case
glyphs.
space
Additional space, in thousandths of a text unit, to add between glyphs.
