$3

The following tables are implemented: cmap (currently only format 4), glyf (glyphs are not actually decomposed, only rewritten), head, hhea, hmtx, loca, maxp, name, os2, post (currently only format 3).

TrueType Font Specification: Apple, Microsoft

Usage

``js
var TTFFont = require('ttfjs')
`

$3

Create a new font instance from the provided buffer (can be a Node Buffer or an ArrayBuffer).

#### .stringWidth(str, size)

Returns the width for the given string in the given font size.

#### .lineHeight(size, [includeGap])

Returns the line height for the given font size with line gap or without.

#### .lineDescent(size)

Return the line descent for the given font size.

#### .clone()

Returns a clone of the font object.

#### .save()

Encodes the font into an ArrayBuffer.

#### .subset([opts])

Creates a Subset for the current font.

$3

Creates a Subset for the current font.

Options:

- remap - (default: true) whether to remap char codes
- trimNames - (default: false) whether trim localized names (reduces file size)

#### .use(chars)

Add the given characters to the subset.

#### .encode(str)

Encode the given string using the current remapping.

#### .embed()

Embed the current used characters.

#### .save()

Encodes the subset into an ArrayBuffer.

Example

`js
var fs = require('fs')
var TTFFont = require('ttfjs')

var font = new TTFFont(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/Corbel.ttf'))
var subset = font.subset()

subset.use('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1234567890')
console.log(subset.encode('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'))

subset.embed()

fs.writeFileSync('./test.ttf', toBuffer(subset.save()), { encoding: 'binary' })

function toBuffer(ab) {
var buffer = new Buffer(ab.byteLength)
var view = new Uint8Array(ab)
for (var i = 0; i < buffer.length; ++i) {
buffer[i] = view[i]
}
return buffer
}
