A +true type font file contains several tables which need to be parsed before +any useful information could be gathered about the font. There is the +excellent module for parsing TTF font in CPAN by Martin Hosken, Font::TTF. +But in my opinion the use of Font::TTF requires intimate knowledge of TTF +font format. This module was written to support the use of TTF in Pastel +2D graphics library in Perl. Three factors prompted me to write this +module: first, I required a fast module to access TTF file. Second, all +the access required was read-only. Last, I wanted a user friendly, higher +level API to access TTF file. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Font-TTFMetrics +Author: Malay <curiouser@ccmb.res.in> |
