Detailed Description

A typeface represents a size-independent font.

This base class is abstract, but calling createSystemTypefaceFor() will return a platform-specific subclass that can be used.

The CustomTypeface subclass allow you to build your own typeface, and to load and save it in the Juce typeface format.

Normally you should never need to deal directly with Typeface objects - the Font class does everything you typically need for rendering text.

typedef ReferenceCountedObjectPtr<Typeface> Typeface::Ptr

A handy typedef for a pointer to a typeface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Typeface::~Typeface ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Typeface::Typeface	(	const String &	name,
		const String &	style
	)

protectednoexcept

Member Function Documentation

const String& Typeface::getName ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the font family of the typeface.

See also: Font::getTypefaceName

const String& Typeface::getStyle ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the font style of the typeface.

See also: Font::getTypefaceStyle

static Ptr Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor ( const Font & font )

static

Creates a new system typeface.

static Ptr Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor	(	const void *	fontFileData,
		size_t	fontFileDataSize
	)

static

Attempts to create a font from some raw font file data (e.g.

a TTF or OTF file image). The system will take its own internal copy of the data, so you can free the block once this method has returned.

virtual bool Typeface::isSuitableForFont ( const Font & ) const

virtual

Returns true if this typeface can be used to render the specified font.

When called, the font will already have been checked to make sure that its name and style flags match the typeface.

virtual float Typeface::getAscent ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the ascent of the font, as a proportion of its height.

The height is considered to always be normalised as 1.0, so this will be a value less that 1.0, indicating the proportion of the font that lies above its baseline.

Implemented in CustomTypeface.

virtual float Typeface::getDescent ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the descent of the font, as a proportion of its height.

The height is considered to always be normalised as 1.0, so this will be a value less that 1.0, indicating the proportion of the font that lies below its baseline.

Implemented in CustomTypeface.

virtual float Typeface::getHeightToPointsFactor ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the value by which you should multiply a juce font-height value to convert it to the equivalent point-size.

Implemented in CustomTypeface.

virtual float Typeface::getStringWidth ( const String & text )

pure virtual

Measures the width of a line of text.

The distance returned is based on the font having an normalised height of 1.0. You should never need to call this directly! Use Font::getStringWidth() instead!

Implemented in CustomTypeface.

virtual void Typeface::getGlyphPositions	(	const String &	text,
		Array< int > &	glyphs,
		Array< float > &	xOffsets
	)

pure virtual

Converts a line of text into its glyph numbers and their positions.

The distances returned are based on the font having an normalised height of 1.0. You should never need to call this directly! Use Font::getGlyphPositions() instead!

Implemented in CustomTypeface.

virtual bool Typeface::getOutlineForGlyph	(	int	glyphNumber,
		Path &	path
	)

pure virtual

Returns the outline for a glyph.

The path returned will be normalised to a font height of 1.0.

Implemented in CustomTypeface.

virtual EdgeTable* Typeface::getEdgeTableForGlyph	(	int	glyphNumber,
		const AffineTransform &	transform,
		float	fontHeight
	)

virtual

Returns a new EdgeTable that contains the path for the givem glyph, with the specified transform applied.

Reimplemented in CustomTypeface.

virtual bool Typeface::isHinted ( ) const

virtual

Returns true if the typeface uses hinting.

static void Typeface::setTypefaceCacheSize ( int numFontsToCache )

static

Changes the number of fonts that are cached in memory.

static void Typeface::clearTypefaceCache ( )

static

Clears any fonts that are currently cached in memory.

static void Typeface::scanFolderForFonts ( const File & folder )

static

On some platforms, this allows a specific path to be scanned.

Currently only available when using FreeType.

void Typeface::applyVerticalHintingTransform	(	float	fontHeight,
		Path &	path
	)

Makes an attempt at performing a good overall distortion that will scale a font of the given size to align vertically with the pixel grid.

The path should be an unscaled (i.e. normalised to height of 1.0) path for a glyph.
