Font::TTF::Post - phpMan

NAME
    Font::TTF::Post - Holds the Postscript names for each glyph

DESCRIPTION
    Holds the postscript names for glyphs. Note that they are not held as an
    array, but as indexes into two lists. The first list is the standard
    Postscript name list defined by the TrueType standard. The second comes
    from the font directly.

    Looking up a glyph from a Postscript name or a name from a glyph number
    is achieved through methods rather than variable lookup.

    This class handles PostScript table types of 1, 2, 2.5 & 3, but not
    version 4. Support for version 2.5 is as per Apple spec rather than MS.

    The way to look up Postscript names or glyphs is:

        $pname = $f->{'post'}{'VAL'}[$gnum];
        $gnum = $f->{'post'}{'STRINGS'}{$pname};

INSTANCE VARIABLES
    Due to different systems having different limitations, there are various
    class variables available to control what post table types can be
    written.

    $Font::TTF::Post::no25
        If set tells Font::TTF::Post::out to use table type 2 instead of 2.5
        in case apps cannot handle version 2.5.

    VAL Contains an array indexed by glyph number of Postscript names. This
        is used when writing out a font.

    STRINGS
        An associative array of Postscript names mapping to the highest
        glyph with that name. These may not be in sync with VAL.

    In addition there are the standard introductory variables defined in the
    standard:

        FormatType
        italicAngle
        underlinePosition
        underlineThickness
        isFixedPitch
        minMemType42
        maxMemType42
        minMemType1
        maxMemType1

METHODS
  $t->read
    Reads the Postscript table into memory from disk

  $t->out($fh)
    Writes out a new Postscript name table from memory or copies from disk

  $t->XML_element($context, $depth, $key, $val)
    Outputs the names as one block of XML

  $t->minsize()
    Returns the minimum size this table can be. If it is smaller than this,
    then the table must be bad and should be deleted or whatever.

BUGS
    *   No support for type 4 tables
