NAME

PDF::API2::Basic::TTF::OldCmap - Character map table

This module is deprecated

DESCRIPTION

Looks after the character map. The primary structure used for handling a cmap is the the PDF::API2::Basic::TTF::Segarr manpage which handles the segmented arrays of format 4 tables, and in a simpler form for format 0 tables.

Due to the complexity of working with segmented arrays, most of the handling of such arrays is via methods rather than via instance variables.

One important feature of a format 4 table is that it always contains a segment with a final address of 0xFFFF. If you are creating a table from scratch this is important (although the PDF::API2::Basic::TTF::Segarr manpage can work quite happily without it).

=head1 INSTANCE VARIABLES

The instance variables listed here are not preceeded by a space due to their emulating structural information in the font.

Num

Number of subtables in this table

Tables

An array of subtables ([0..Num-1])

Each subtables also has its own instance variables which are, again, not preceeded by a space.

Platform

The platform number for this subtable

Encoding

The encoding number for this subtable

Format

Gives the stored format of this subtable

Ver

Gives the version (or language) information for this subtable

val

This points to a the PDF::API2::Basic::TTF::Segarr manpage which contains the content of the particular subtable.

METHODS

BUGS

No support for format 2 tables (MBCS)
