Detailed Description

A typeface that can be populated with custom glyphs.

You can create a CustomTypeface if you need one that contains your own glyphs, or if you need to load a typeface from a Juce-formatted binary stream.

If you want to create a copy of a native face, you can use addGlyphsFromOtherTypeface() to copy glyphs into this face.

NOTE! For most people this class is almost certainly NOT the right tool to use! If what you want to do is to embed a font into your exe, then your best plan is probably to embed your TTF/OTF font file into your binary using the Projucer, and then call Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor() to load it from memory.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Ptr

typedef ReferenceCountedObjectPtr<Typeface> Typeface::Ptr

inherited

A handy typedef for a pointer to a typeface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CustomTypeface() [1/2]

CustomTypeface::CustomTypeface ( )

Creates a new, empty typeface.

◆ CustomTypeface() [2/2]

CustomTypeface::CustomTypeface ( InputStream & serialisedTypefaceStream )

explicit

Loads a typeface from a previously saved stream.

The stream must have been created by writeToStream().

NOTE! Since this class was written, support was added for loading real font files from memory, so for most people, using Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor() to load a real font is more appropriate than using this class to store it in a proprietary format.

◆ ~CustomTypeface()

CustomTypeface::~CustomTypeface ( )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addGlyph()

void CustomTypeface::addGlyph	(	juce_wchar	character,
		const Path &	path,
		float	width
	)

noexcept

Adds a glyph to the typeface.

The path that is passed in is normalised so that the font height is 1.0, and its origin is the anchor point of the character on its baseline.

The width is the nominal width of the character, and any extra kerning values that are specified will be added to this width.

◆ addGlyphsFromOtherTypeface()

void CustomTypeface::addGlyphsFromOtherTypeface	(	Typeface &	typefaceToCopy,
		juce_wchar	characterStartIndex,
		int	numCharacters
	)

noexcept

Adds a range of glyphs from another typeface.

This will attempt to pull in the paths and kerning information from another typeface and add it to this one.

◆ addKerningPair()

void CustomTypeface::addKerningPair	(	juce_wchar	char1,
		juce_wchar	char2,
		float	extraAmount
	)

noexcept

Specifies an extra kerning amount to be used between a pair of characters.

The amount will be added to the nominal width of the first character when laying out a string.

◆ applyVerticalHintingTransform()

void Typeface::applyVerticalHintingTransform	(	float	fontHeight,
		Path &	path
	)

inherited

Makes an attempt at performing a good overall distortion that will scale a font of the given size to align vertically with the pixel grid.

The path should be an unscaled (i.e. normalised to height of 1.0) path for a glyph.

◆ clear()

void CustomTypeface::clear ( )

Resets this typeface, deleting all its glyphs and settings.

◆ clearTypefaceCache()

static void Typeface::clearTypefaceCache ( )

staticinherited

Clears any fonts that are currently cached in memory.

◆ createSystemTypefaceFor() [1/2]

static Ptr Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor ( const Font & font )

staticinherited

Creates a new system typeface.

◆ createSystemTypefaceFor() [2/2]

static Ptr Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor	(	const void *	fontFileData,
		size_t	fontFileDataSize
	)

staticinherited

Attempts to create a font from some raw font file data (e.g.

a TTF or OTF file image). The system will take its own internal copy of the data, so you can free the block once this method has returned.

◆ decReferenceCount()

void ReferenceCountedObject::decReferenceCount ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Decreases the object's reference count.

If the count gets to zero, the object will be deleted.

References jassert.

◆ decReferenceCountWithoutDeleting()

bool ReferenceCountedObject::decReferenceCountWithoutDeleting ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Decreases the object's reference count.

If the count gets to zero, the object will not be deleted, but this method will return true, allowing the caller to take care of deletion.

References jassert.

◆ findGlyph()

GlyphInfo* CustomTypeface::findGlyph	(	const juce_wchar	character,
		bool	loadIfNeeded
	)

privatenoexcept

◆ getAscent()

float CustomTypeface::getAscent ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the ascent of the font, as a proportion of its height.

The height is considered to always be normalised as 1.0, so this will be a value less that 1.0, indicating the proportion of the font that lies above its baseline.

Implements Typeface.

◆ getDescent()

float CustomTypeface::getDescent ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the descent of the font, as a proportion of its height.

The height is considered to always be normalised as 1.0, so this will be a value less that 1.0, indicating the proportion of the font that lies below its baseline.

Implements Typeface.

◆ getEdgeTableForGlyph()

EdgeTable* CustomTypeface::getEdgeTableForGlyph	(	int	glyphNumber,
		const AffineTransform &	transform,
		float	fontHeight
	)

overridevirtual

Returns a new EdgeTable that contains the path for the givem glyph, with the specified transform applied.

Reimplemented from Typeface.

◆ getFallbackTypeface()

static Ptr Typeface::getFallbackTypeface ( )

staticprotectedinherited

◆ getGlyphPositions()

void CustomTypeface::getGlyphPositions	(	const String &	text,
		Array< int > &	glyphs,
		Array< float > &	xOffsets
	)

overridevirtual

Converts a line of text into its glyph numbers and their positions.

The distances returned are based on the font having an normalised height of 1.0. You should never need to call this directly! Use Font::getGlyphPositions() instead!

Implements Typeface.

◆ getHeightToPointsFactor()

float CustomTypeface::getHeightToPointsFactor ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the value by which you should multiply a juce font-height value to convert it to the equivalent point-size.

Implements Typeface.

◆ getName()

const String& Typeface::getName ( ) const

inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the font family of the typeface.

See also: Font::getTypefaceName

◆ getOutlineForGlyph()

bool CustomTypeface::getOutlineForGlyph	(	int	glyphNumber,
		Path &	path
	)

overridevirtual

Returns the outline for a glyph.

The path returned will be normalised to a font height of 1.0.

Implements Typeface.

◆ getReferenceCount()

int ReferenceCountedObject::getReferenceCount ( ) const

inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the object's current reference count.

◆ getStringWidth()

float CustomTypeface::getStringWidth ( const String & text )

overridevirtual

Measures the width of a line of text.

The distance returned is based on the font having an normalised height of 1.0. You should never need to call this directly! Use Font::getStringWidth() instead!

Implements Typeface.

◆ getStyle()

const String& Typeface::getStyle ( ) const

inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the font style of the typeface.

See also: Font::getTypefaceStyle

◆ incReferenceCount()

void ReferenceCountedObject::incReferenceCount ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Increments the object's reference count.

This is done automatically by the smart pointer, but is public just in case it's needed for nefarious purposes.

◆ isHinted()

virtual bool Typeface::isHinted ( ) const

inlinevirtualinherited

Returns true if the typeface uses hinting.

Referenced by RenderingHelpers::CachedGlyphEdgeTable< RendererType >::generate().

◆ isSuitableForFont()

virtual bool Typeface::isSuitableForFont ( const Font & ) const

inlinevirtualinherited

Returns true if this typeface can be used to render the specified font.

When called, the font will already have been checked to make sure that its name and style flags match the typeface.

◆ loadGlyphIfPossible()

virtual bool CustomTypeface::loadGlyphIfPossible ( juce_wchar characterNeeded )

protectedvirtual

If a subclass overrides this, it can load glyphs into the font on-demand.

When methods such as getGlyphPositions() or getOutlineForGlyph() are asked for a particular character and there's no corresponding glyph, they'll call this method so that a subclass can try to add that glyph, returning true if it manages to do so.

◆ resetReferenceCount()

void ReferenceCountedObject::resetReferenceCount ( )

inlineprotectednoexceptinherited

Resets the reference count to zero without deleting the object.

You should probably never need to use this!

◆ scanFolderForFonts()

static void Typeface::scanFolderForFonts ( const File & folder )

staticinherited

On some platforms, this allows a specific path to be scanned.

Currently only available when using FreeType.

◆ setCharacteristics() [1/2]

void CustomTypeface::setCharacteristics	(	const String &	fontFamily,
		float	ascent,
		bool	isBold,
		bool	isItalic,
		juce_wchar	defaultCharacter
	)

noexcept

Sets the vital statistics for the typeface.

Parameters

fontFamily	the typeface's font family
ascent	the ascent - this is normalised to a height of 1.0 and this is the value that will be returned by Typeface::getAscent(). The descent is assumed to be (1.0 - ascent)
isBold	should be true if the typeface is bold
isItalic	should be true if the typeface is italic
defaultCharacter	the character to be used as a replacement if there's no glyph available for the character that's being drawn

◆ setCharacteristics() [2/2]

void CustomTypeface::setCharacteristics	(	const String &	fontFamily,
		const String &	fontStyle,
		float	ascent,
		juce_wchar	defaultCharacter
	)

noexcept

Sets the vital statistics for the typeface.

Parameters

fontFamily	the typeface's font family
fontStyle	the typeface's font style
ascent	the ascent - this is normalised to a height of 1.0 and this is the value that will be returned by Typeface::getAscent(). The descent is assumed to be (1.0 - ascent)
defaultCharacter	the character to be used as a replacement if there's no glyph available for the character that's being drawn

◆ setTypefaceCacheSize()

static void Typeface::setTypefaceCacheSize ( int numFontsToCache )

staticinherited

Changes the number of fonts that are cached in memory.

◆ writeToStream()

bool CustomTypeface::writeToStream ( OutputStream & outputStream )

Saves this typeface as a Juce-formatted font file.

A CustomTypeface can be created to reload the data that is written - see the CustomTypeface constructor.

NOTE! Since this class was written, support was added for loading real font files from memory, so for most people, using Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor() to load a real font is more appropriate than using this class to store it in a proprietary format.
