This module provides access to the IRIS {\em Font Manager} library.
|
|
|
|
|
It is available only on Silicon Graphics machines.
|
|
|
|

Font Manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is not yet a full interface to the IRIS Font Manager.
|
|
|
|
|
Among the unsupported features are: matrix operations; cache
|
|
|
|
|
operations; character operations (use string operations instead); some
|
|
|
|
|
details of font info; individual glyph metrics; and printer matching.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It supports the following operations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module fm)}
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{init}{}
|
|
|
|
|
Initialization function.
|
|
|
|
|
Calls \code{fminit()}.
|
|
|
|
|
It is normally not necessary to call this function, since it is called
|
|
|
|
|
automatically the first time the \code{fm} module is imported.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{findfont}{fontname}
|
|
|
|
|
Return a font handle object.
|
|
|
|
|
Calls \code{fmfindfont(\var{fontname})}.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{enumerate}{}
|
|
|
|
|
Returns a list of available font names.
|
|
|
|
|
This is an interface to \code{fmenumerate()}.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{prstr}{string}
|
|
|
|
|
Render a string using the current font (see the \code{setfont()} font
|
|
|
|
|
handle method below).
|
|
|
|
|
Calls \code{fmprstr(\var{string})}.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setpath}{string}
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the font search path.
|
|
|
|
|
Calls \code{fmsetpath(string)}.
|
|
|
|
|
(XXX Does not work!?!)
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{fontpath}{}
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the current font search path.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Font handle objects support the following operations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(font handle method)}
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{scalefont}{factor}
|
|
|
|
|
Returns a handle for a scaled version of this font.
|
|
|
|
|
Calls \code{fmscalefont(\var{fh}, \var{factor})}.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setfont}{}
|
|
|
|
|
Makes this font the current font.
|
|
|
|
|
Note: the effect is undone silently when the font handle object is
|
|
|
|
|
deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
Calls \code{fmsetfont(\var{fh})}.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getfontname}{}
|
|
|
|
|
Returns this font's name.
|
|
|
|
|
Calls \code{fmgetfontname(\var{fh})}.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getcomment}{}
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the comment string associated with this font.
|
|
|
|
|
Raises an exception if there is none.
|

|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getfontinfo}{}
|
|
|
|
|
Returns a tuple giving some pertinent data about this font.
|
|
|
|
|
This is an interface to \code{fmgetfontinfo()}.
|
|
|
|
|
The returned tuple contains the following numbers:
|
1994-08-08 12:30:22 +00:00
|
|
|
{\tt(\var{printermatched}, \var{fixed_width}, \var{xorig}, \var{yorig},
|
|
|
|
|
\var{xsize}, \var{ysize}, \var{height}, \var{nglyphs})}.
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00
|
