NAME
       PDF::API2::Resource::BaseFont

METHODS
       $font = PDF::API2::Resource::BaseFont->new $pdf, $name
	   Returns a font resource object.

       $font = PDF::API2::Resource::BaseFont->new_api $api, $name
	   Returns a font resource object. This method is different from 'new'
	   that it needs an PDF::API2-object rather than a
	   Text::PDF::File-object.

       $descriptor = $font->descrByData()
	   Returns the fonts FontDescriptor key-structure based on the fonts
	   data.

	   Returns the fonts name (aka. display-name).

       $name = $font->altname()
	   Returns the fonts alternative-name (aka. windows-name for a
	   postscript font).

       $name = $font->subname()
	   Returns the fonts subname (aka. font-variant, schriftschnitt).

       $name = $font->apiname()
	   Returns the fonts name to be used internally (should be equal to
	   $font->name).

       $issymbol = $font->issymbol()
	   Returns the fonts symbol flag.

       $iscff = $font->iscff()
	   Returns the fonts compact-font-format flag.

TYPOGRAPHY RELATED METHODS
       ($llx, $lly, $urx, $ury) = $font->fontbbox()
	   Returns the fonts bounding-box.

       $capheight = $font->capheight()
	   Returns the fonts capheight value.

       $xheight = $font->xheight()
	   Returns the fonts xheight value.

       $missingwidth = $font->missingwidth()
	   Returns the fonts missingwidth value.

       $maxwidth = $font->maxwidth()
	   Returns the fonts maxwidth value.

       $avgwidth = $font->avgwidth()
	   Returns the fonts avgwidth value.

       $flags = $font->flags()
	   Returns the fonts flags value.

       $stemv = $font->stemv()
	   Returns the fonts stemv value.

       $stemh = $font->stemh()
	   Returns the fonts stemh value.

       $italicangle = $font->italicangle()
	   Returns the fonts italicangle value.

       $isfixedpitch = $font->isfixedpitch()
	   Returns the fonts isfixedpitch flag.

       $underlineposition = $font->underlineposition()
	   Returns the fonts underlineposition value.

       $underlinethickness = $font->underlinethickness()
	   Returns the fonts underlinethickness value.

       $ascender = $font->ascender()
	   Returns the fonts ascender value.

       $descender = $font->descender()
	   Returns the fonts descender value.

GLYPH RELATED METHODS
       @names = $font->glyphNames()
	   Returns the defined glyph-names of the font.

       $glNum = $font->glyphNum()
	   Returns the number of defined glyph-names of the font.

       $uni = $font->uniByGlyph $char
	   Returns the unicode by glyph-name.

       $uni = $font->uniByEnc $char
	   Returns the unicode by the fonts encoding map.

       $uni = $font->uniByMap $char
	   Returns the unicode by the fonts default map.

       $char = $font->encByGlyph $glyph
	   Returns the character by the given glyph-name of the fonts encoding
	   map.

       $char = $font->encByUni $uni

	   map.

       $char = $font->mapByUni $uni
	   Returns the character by the given unicode of the fonts default
	   map.

       $name = $font->glyphByUni $unicode
	   Returns the glyphs name by the fonts unicode map.  BEWARE: non-
	   standard glyph-names are mapped onto the ms-symbol area (0xF000).

       $name = $font->glyphByEnc $char
	   Returns the glyphs name by the fonts encoding map.

       $name = $font->glyphByMap $char

	   Returns the characters width based on the fonts default encoding.

       $wd = $font->width $text
	   Returns the width of $text as if it were at size 1.	BEWARE: works
