PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::CoreFont::helveticaoblique β bestie, this is the font-specific info page for the slanted Helvetica font π
okay so like, this is one of those little backend modules that just holds the vibes for a font. it's not out here doing anything dramatic, it's just sitting there being the source of truth for one specific font: slanted Helvetica. that's the italic-leaning one, the one that's giving "I'm Helvetica but make it fashion" π¦
and here's the tea: the metrics and the glyph list? they're from the Arial typeface. not Helvetica. Arial. yes, fr fr, that's just how it is. don't come for me, I'm just the messenger π
so if you're deep in PDF::Builder and you're wondering where the numbers for slanted Helvetica come from, it's here, and it's Arial-flavored. iykyk π
perl v5.42.0 π 2026-01-17 β that's the version and the date this lil page came into the world, and honestly? iconic. slay, stay hydrated, and go make some pretty PDFs πβ¨
