Class AFPFontReader

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.fop.render.afp.fonts.AFPFontReader

public final class AFPFontReader

extends java.lang.Object

The AFPFontReader is responsible for reading the font attributes from binary code page files and the character set metric files. In IBM font structure, a code page maps each character of text to the characters in a character set. Each character is translated into a code point. When the character is printed, each code point is matched to a character ID on the code page specified. The character ID is then matched to the image (raster pattern or outline pattern) of the character in the character set specified. The image in the character set is the image that is printed in the document. To be a valid code page for a particular character set, all character IDs in the code page must be included in that character set.

This class will read the font information from the binary code page files and character set metric files in order to determine the correct metrics to use when rendering the formatted object.
