mdbFontSize

NAME

mdbFontSize − Font Size

DESCRIPTION

In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information about font−size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.

FONT−SIZE−ADJUSTMENT ::= PER−FONT *

PER−FONT ::= ’(’ FONT−SPEC ADJUST−RATIO ’)’

FONT−SPEC ::=
’(’ [ FOUNDRY FAMILY

[ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]

REGISTRY ’)’

ADJUST−RATIO ::= INTEGER

FONT−SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font. See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.

ADJUST−RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font−size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER−FONT:

((devanagari−cdac) 150)

instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is ’devanagari−cdac’.
