Member Function Documentation

GetCID()

virtual byte [] iText.IO.Font.CFFFont.GetCID ( String  fontName )

inlinevirtual

get a single CID font.

get a single CID font. The PDF architecture (1.4) supports 16-bit strings only with CID CFF fonts, not in Type-1 CFF fonts, so we convert the font to CID if it is in the Type-1 format. Two other tasks that we need to do are to select only a single font from the CFF package (this again is a PDF restriction) and to subset the CharStrings glyph description.

Parameters

fontName

name of the font

Returns

byte array represents the CID font
