PDF::Font::Loader
# load a font from a file use PDF::Font::Loader :load-font; use PDF::Content::FontObj; my PDF::Content::FontObj $deja; $deja = PDF::Font::Loader.load-font: :file<t/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf>; -- or -- $deja = load-font( :file<t/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf> ); # find/load the best matching system font # *** requires FontConfig *** use PDF::Font::Loader :load-font, :find-font; my Str $file = find-font( :family<DejaVu>, :slant<italic> ); my PDF::Content::FontObj $deja-vu = load-font: :$file; # use the font to add text to a PDF use PDF::Lite; my PDF::Lite $pdf .= new; $pdf.add-page.text: { .font = $deja; .text-position = [10, 600]; .say: 'Hello, world'; } $pdf.save-as: "/tmp/example.pdf";
This module provides font loading and handling for PDF::Lite, PDF::API6 and other PDF modules.
PDF::Font::Loader depends on:
Font::FreeType Raku module which further depends on the freetype library, so you must install that prior to installing this module.
The find-font
method requires installation of the FontConfig library .
