## 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!');

        $pdf->save('sample.pdf');

## 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.
