# PHP Font Lib

This library can be used to:

 * Read TrueType, OpenType (with TrueType glyphs), WOFF font files

 * Extract basic info (name, style, etc)

 * Extract advanced info (horizontal metrics, glyph names, glyph shapes, etc)

 * Make an Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) file from a font

This project was initiated by the need to read font files in the [DOMPDF project](https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf).

Usage Example

-------------

### Base font information

```php

$font = \FontLib\Font::load('fontfile.ttf');

$font->parse();  // for getFontWeight() to work this call must be done first!

echo $font->getFontName() .'
';

echo $font->getFontSubfamily() .'
';

echo $font->getFontSubfamilyID() .'
';

echo $font->getFontFullName() .'
';

echo $font->getFontVersion() .'
';

echo $font->getFontWeight() .'
';

echo $font->getFontPostscriptName() .'
';

$font->close();

```

### Font Metrics Generation

```php

$font = FontLib\Font::load('fontfile.ttf');

$font->parse();

$font->saveAdobeFontMetrics('fontfile.ufm');

```

### Create a font subset

```php

$font = FontLib\Font::load('fontfile.ttf');

$font->parse();

$font->setSubset("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.:,;' (!?)+-*/== 1234567890"); // characters to include

$font->reduce();

touch('fontfile.subset.ttf');

$font->open('fontfile.subset.ttf', FontLib\BinaryStream::modeReadWrite);

$font->encode(array("OS/2"));

$font->close();

```
