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

A handy typedef for a pointer to a typeface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CustomTypeface() [1/2]

juce::CustomTypeface::CustomTypeface ( )

Creates a new, empty typeface.

◆ CustomTypeface() [2/2]

juce::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.

writeToStream

◆ ~CustomTypeface()

juce::CustomTypeface::~CustomTypeface ( )
override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addGlyph()

void juce::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 juce::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 juce::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 juce::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 juce::CustomTypeface::clear ( )

Resets this typeface, deleting all its glyphs and settings.

◆ clearTypefaceCache()

static void juce::Typeface::clearTypefaceCache ( )
staticinherited

Clears any fonts that are currently cached in memory.

◆ createSystemTypefaceFor() [1/2]

static Ptr juce::Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor ( const Font font)
staticinherited

Creates a new system typeface.

◆ createSystemTypefaceFor() [2/2]

static Ptr juce::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 juce::ReferenceCountedObject::decReferenceCount ( )
inlinenoexceptinherited

Decreases the object's reference count.

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

References jassert.

◆ decReferenceCountWithoutDeleting()

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

◆ getAscent()

float juce::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 juce::Typeface.

◆ getDescent()

float juce::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 juce::Typeface.

◆ getEdgeTableForGlyph()

EdgeTable* juce::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 juce::Typeface.

◆ getFallbackTypeface()

static Ptr juce::Typeface::getFallbackTypeface ( )
staticprotectedinherited

◆ getGlyphPositions()

void juce::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 juce::Typeface.

◆ getHeightToPointsFactor()

float juce::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 juce::Typeface.

◆ getName()

const String& juce::Typeface::getName ( ) const
inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the font family of the typeface.

See also
Font::getTypefaceName

◆ getOutlineForGlyph()

bool juce::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 juce::Typeface.

◆ getReferenceCount()

int juce::ReferenceCountedObject::getReferenceCount ( ) const
inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the object's current reference count.

◆ getStringWidth()

float juce::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 juce::Typeface.

◆ getStyle()

const String& juce::Typeface::getStyle ( ) const
inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the font style of the typeface.

See also
Font::getTypefaceStyle

◆ incReferenceCount()

void juce::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 juce::Typeface::isHinted ( ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns true if the typeface uses hinting.

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

◆ isSuitableForFont()

virtual bool juce::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 juce::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 juce::ReferenceCountedObject::resetReferenceCount ( )
inlineprotectednoexceptinherited

Resets the reference count to zero without deleting the object.

You should probably never need to use this!

◆ scanFolderForFonts()

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

Sets the vital statistics for the typeface.

Parameters
fontFamilythe typeface's font family
ascentthe 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)
isBoldshould be true if the typeface is bold
isItalicshould be true if the typeface is italic
defaultCharacterthe character to be used as a replacement if there's no glyph available for the character that's being drawn

◆ setCharacteristics() [2/2]

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

Sets the vital statistics for the typeface.

Parameters
fontFamilythe typeface's font family
fontStylethe typeface's font style
ascentthe 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)
defaultCharacterthe character to be used as a replacement if there's no glyph available for the character that's being drawn

◆ setTypefaceCacheSize()

static void juce::Typeface::setTypefaceCacheSize ( int  numFontsToCache)
staticinherited

Changes the number of fonts that are cached in memory.

◆ writeToStream()

bool juce::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.
