NAMEPS_begin_font — Starts a new Type3 font
SYNOPSIS
#include <pslib.h>
int PS_begin_font(PSDoc *psdoc, const char *fontname, int reserverd,
double a, double b, double c, double d, double e, double f, const char
*optlist)
DESCRIPTION
PostScript supports various kinds of fonts. Type3 fonts are fonts
whose glyphs are created with a subset of regular Post‐
Script commands. This function starts a new Type3 font
embedded into the document which must be closed with
PS_end_font. Each glyph is created with consecutive
calls of PS_end_glyph and PS_end_glyph. Once the new
font is created, it can be used like any other font
loaded with PS_findfont. The passed floating point num‐
bers are used to set the font matrix. a and
d are usually set to 0.001. The remaining
numbers can be left zero.
Each call of PS_begin_font must be accompanied by a call to
PS_end_pattern(3).
PS_begin_font has been introduced in version 0.4.0 of
pslib.
RETURN VALUE
Returns identifier of the font or zero in case of an error.
The identifier is a positiv number greater 0.
