PDF::AP...rueType(3)

✨ NAME ✨

PDF::API2::Resource::CIDFont::TrueType — it's giving TrueType font support 🦋💖

okay so real talk, this is the little guy you call when you want your PDF to speak TrueType. it's a resource class under the whole PDF::API2 empire, and it handles CID fonts that are TrueType based. slay. periodt. 💅

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💫 new — the main character constructor 💫

$font = PDF::API2::Resource::CIDFont::TrueType->new $pdf, $file, %options

bestie. this is the call. you hand it a $pdf (your PDF object, the whole vibe) and a $file (the TrueType font file you're obsessed with), sprinkle in some %options if you're feeling spicy, and boom — it hands you back a font object 🫶✨

literally that's it. returns a font object. no notes.

🌸 Defined Options 🌸

the options you can pass, iykyk:

• -encode — specify fonts encoding for non-utf8 text. 📝 so like, if your text is not UTF-8 (we're living in the past a lil bit, and that's okay), this is where you tell it which encoding to use. no cap.
• -nosubset — disables subsetting. 🚫🔡 so by default it subsets (only embeds the glyphs you actually use, very demure, very mindful, very file-size-conscious 💖), and this flag says "no thanks, embed the whole thing." iconic choice, bigger file, you do you.

---

🌈 reminder bestie: those two options are the only defined ones here. don't go inventing new ones and blaming me when they don't do anything 🙈
