Abstract base class for OpenType font file parsers.
TrueType was originally developed by Apple and was adopted as the default font format for the Microsoft Windows platform. OpenType is an extension of TrueType, developed jointly by Microsoft and Adobe, which adds support for PostScript font data.
This abstract parser class forms the foundation for concrete subclasses which extract either TrueType or PostScript font data from the file.
All OpenType files use big-endian byte ordering.
The full TrueType and OpenType specifications can be found at:
integer $_scalerType = '0'
Stores the scaler type (font type) for the font file. See {@link _readScalerType()}.
array $_tableDirectory = 'array'
Stores the byte offsets to the various information tables.
_jumpToTable(
string $tableName
)
:
Validates a given table's existence, then sets the file pointer to the start of that table.
_languageCodeForPlatform(
integer $platformID, $languageID
)
:
string
Utility method that returns ISO 639 two-letter language codes from the TrueType platform and language ID. Returns NULL for languages that are not supported.
_parseCmapTable(
)
:
Parses the OpenType cmap (Character to Glyph Mapping) table.
The cmap table provides the maps from character codes to font glyphs. There are usually at least two character maps in a font: Microsoft Unicode and Macintosh Roman. For very complex fonts, there may also be mappings for the characters in the Unicode Surrogates Area, which are UCS-4 characters.
_parseHeadTable(
)
:
Parses the OpenType head (Font Header) table.
The head table contains global information about the font such as the revision number and global metrics.
_parseHheaTable(
)
:
Parses the OpenType hhea (Horizontal Header) table.
The hhea table contains information used for horizontal layout. It also contains some vertical layout information for Apple systems. The vertical layout information for the PDF file is usually taken from the OS/2 table.
_parseHmtxTable(
)
:
Parses the OpenType hmtx (Horizontal Metrics) table.
The hmtx table contains the horizontal metrics for every glyph contained within the font. These are the critical values for horizontal layout of text.
_parseMaxpTable(
)
:
Parses the OpenType hhea (Horizontal Header) table.
The hhea table contains information used for horizontal layout. It also contains some vertical layout information for Apple systems. The vertical layout information for the PDF file is usually taken from the OS/2 table.
_parseNameTable(
)
:
Parses the OpenType name (Naming) table.
The name table contains all of the identifying strings associated with the font such as its name, copyright, trademark, license, etc.
_parseOs2Table(
)
:
Parses the OpenType OS/2 (OS/2 and Windows Metrics) table.
The OS/2 table contains additional metrics data that is required to use the font on the OS/2 or Microsoft Windows platforms. It is not required for Macintosh fonts, so may not always be present. When available, we use this table to determine most of the vertical layout and stylistic information and for the font.
_parsePostTable(
)
:
Parses the OpenType post (PostScript Information) table.
The post table contains additional information required for using the font on PostScript printers. It also contains the preferred location and thickness for an underline, which is used by our layout code.
_parseTableDirectory(
)
:
Parses the OpenType table directory.
The table directory contains the identifier, checksum, byte offset, and length of each of the information tables housed in the font file.
_readScalerType(
)
:
integer
Reads the scaler type from the header of the OpenType font file and returns it as an unsigned long integer.
The scaler type defines the type of font: OpenType font files may contain TrueType or PostScript outlines. Throws an exception if the scaler type is not recognized.
_readTableVersion(
float $minVersion, $maxVersion
)
:
float
Reads the fixed 16.16 table version number and checks for compatibility.
If the version is incompatible, throws an exception. If it is compatible, returns the version number.
parse(
)
:
Reads and parses the font data from the file on disk.
NOTE: This method should be overridden in subclasses to add type- specific parsing and set $this->isParsed.
screen(
)
:
Verifies that the font file is in the expected format.
NOTE: This method should be overridden in subclasses to check the specific format and set $this->_isScreened!
