PDF::Bu...:UniFont(3)

💖 PDF::Builder::Resource::UniFont — Unicode Font Support 💖

okay bestie, welcome to UniFont, the part of PDF::Builder that handles Unicode font support. this is the PDF::Builder::Resource::UniFont page, and yeah the title got squished into PDF::Bu...:UniFont(3) because the man page formatter has no chill, but you're in the right place 🫶

✨ METHODS ✨

🌸 new

$font = PDF::Builder::Resource::UniFont->new($pdf, @fontspecs, %opts)

returns a uni-font object. that's it, that's the job 💅

FONTSPECS: fonts get registered with a hash-ref that looks like this:

{
    font   => $fontobj,     # the font to be registered
    blocks => $blockspec,   # the unicode blocks the font is being registered for
    codes  => $codespec,    # the unicode codepoints, -"-
}

BLOCKSPECS:

[
     $block1, $block3,    # register font for block 1 + 3
    [$blockA, $blockZ],   # register font for blocks A .. Z
]

CODESPECS:

[
     $cp1, $cp3,          # register font for codepoint 1 + 3
    [$cpA, $cpZ],         # register font for codepoints A .. Z
]

NOTE: if you wanna register a font for the entire unicode space (ie. U+0000 .. U+FFFF), then literally just hand over a font-object, no hash-ref, no drama. so easy, so slay ✨

🎀 Valid options (%opts)

• encode — changes the encoding of the font away from its default. for a list of valid tags go peek at "perldoc Encode" 👀
