class HexaPDF::Font::TrueType::Subsetter

Parent	Object

Subsets a TrueType font in the context of PDF.

TrueType fonts can be embedded into PDF either as a simple font or as a composite font. This subsetter implements the functionality needed when embedding a TrueType subset for a composite font.

This means in particular that the resulting font file cannot be used outside of the PDF.

Returns the new subset glyph ID for the given glyph ID, or nil if the glyph isn’t subset.

use_glyph(glyph_id)¶
