Interface FontContext

    DefaultFontContext

    public interface FontContext
    The font context decribes how a certain font will be used. The context influences the font metrics and therefore a certain metrics object is only valid for a given font context.

    • Method Detail

      • getEncoding

        String getEncoding()
      • isEmbedded

        boolean isEmbedded()
      • isAntiAliased

        boolean isAntiAliased()
        This is controlled by the output target and the stylesheet. If the output target does not support aliasing, it makes no sense to enable it and all such requests are ignored.
        Returns:
      • isFractionalMetrics

        boolean isFractionalMetrics()
        This is defined by the output target. This is not controlled by the stylesheet.
        Returns:
      • getFontSize

        double getFontSize()
        The requested font size. A font may have a fractional font size (ie. 8.5 point). The font size may be influenced by the output target.
        Returns:
        the font size.
