NAME

6       PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::BdFont - Module for using bitmapped
7       Fonts.
8

SYNOPSIS

10           #
11           use PDF::Builder;
12           #
13           $pdf = PDF::Builder->new();
14           $sft = $pdf->bdfont($file);
15           #
16
17       This creates a bitmapped font from a .bdf (bitmap distribution font)
18       file.  The default is to use square elements, and the style can be
19       changed to use filled dots (looking more like a dot-matrix printer).
20       The font will be embedded in the PDF file.
21
22       Bitmapped fonts are quite rough, low resolution, and difficult to read,
23       so unless you're a sadist who wants to force readers back to the good
24       old days of dot-matrix printers and bitmapped X terminals, try to limit
25       the use of such a font to decorative or novelty effects, such as
26       chapter titles and major headings. Have mercy on your readers and use a
27       real font (TrueType, etc.)  for body text!

METHODS

30       $font = PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::BdFont->new($pdf, $font,
31       %options)
32           Returns a BmpFont object.
33
34           Valid %options are:
35
36           style
37               A value of 'block' (default) assembles a character from
38               contiguous square blocks. A value of 'dot' assembles a
39               character from overlapping filled circles, in the style of a
40               dot matrix printer.
