NAME

6       Font::TTF::OldCmap - Character map table
7
8       This module is deprecated
9

DESCRIPTION

11       Looks after the character map. The primary structure used for handling
12       a cmap is the Font::TTF::Segarr which handles the segmented arrays of
13       format 4 tables, and in a simpler form for format 0 tables.
14
15       Due to the complexity of working with segmented arrays, most of the
16       handling of such arrays is via methods rather than via instance vari‐
17       ables.
18
19       One important feature of a format 4 table is that it always contains a
20       segment with a final address of 0xFFFF. If you are creating a table
21       from scratch this is important (although Font::TTF::Segarr can work
22       quite happily without it).

INSTANCE VARIABLES

25       The instance variables listed here are not preceeded by a space due to
26       their emulating structural information in the font.
27
28       Num Number of subtables in this table
29
30       Tables
31           An array of subtables ([0..Num-1])
32
33       Each subtables also has its own instance variables which are, again,
34       not preceeded by a space.
35
36       Platform
37           The platform number for this subtable
38
39       Encoding
40           The encoding number for this subtable
41
42       Format
43           Gives the stored format of this subtable
44
45       Ver Gives the version (or language) information for this subtable
46
47       val This points to a Font::TTF::Segarr which contains the content of
48           the particular subtable.

METHODS

51       $t->read
52
53       Reads the cmap into memory. Format 4 subtables read the whole subtable
54       and fill in the segmented array accordingly.
55
56       Format 2 subtables are not read at all.
57
58       $t->ms_lookup($uni)
59
60       Given a Unicode value in the MS table (Platform 3, Encoding 1) locates
61       that table and looks up the appropriate glyph number from it.
62
63       $t->find_ms
64
65       Finds the Microsoft Unicode table and sets the "mstable" instance vari‐
66       able to it if found. Returns the table it finds.
67
68       $t->out($fh)
69
70       Writes out a cmap table to a filehandle. If it has not been read, then
71       just copies from input file to output
72
73       @map = $t->reverse([$num])
74
75       Returns a reverse map of the table of given number or the Microsoft
76       cmap. I.e. given a glyph gives the Unicode value for it.

BUGS
