Constructor Detail

### FopCharacterSet

    public FopCharacterSet(java.lang.String codePage,
                           java.lang.String encoding,
                           java.lang.String name,
                           Typeface charSet,
                           AFPEventProducer eventProducer)

  Constructor for the CharacterSetMetric object, the character set is used to load the font information from the actual AFP font.

  Parameters:
    `codePage` - the code page identifier
    `encoding` - the encoding of the font
    `name` - the character set name
    `charSet` - the fop character set
    `eventProducer` - for handling AFP related events

Method Detail

### getAscender

    public int getAscender()

  Ascender height is the distance from the character baseline to the top of the character box. A negative ascender height signifies that all of the graphic character is below the character baseline. For a character rotation other than 0, ascender height loses its meaning when the character is lying on its side or is upside down with respect to normal viewing orientation. For the general case, Ascender Height is the character's most positive y-axis value. For bounded character boxes, for a given character having an ascender, ascender height and baseline offset are equal.

  Overrides:
    `getAscender` in class `CharacterSet`
  Returns:
    the ascender value in millipoints

### getCapHeight

    public int getCapHeight()

  Cap height is the average height of the uppercase characters in a font. This value is specified by the designer of a font and is usually the height of the uppercase M.

  Overrides:
    `getCapHeight` in class `CharacterSet`
  Returns:
    the cap height value in millipoints

### getDescender

    public int getDescender()

  Descender depth is the distance from the character baseline to the bottom of a character box. A negative descender depth signifies that all of the graphic character is above the character baseline.

  Overrides:
    `getDescender` in class `CharacterSet`
  Returns:
    the descender value in millipoints

### getFirstChar

    public char getFirstChar()

  The first character in the character set

  Overrides:
    `getFirstChar` in class `CharacterSet`
  Returns:
    the first character

### getLastChar

    public char getLastChar()

  The last character in the character set

  Overrides:
    `getLastChar` in class `CharacterSet`
  Returns:
    the last character

### getWidths

    public int[] getWidths()

  Get the width (in 1/1000ths of a point size) of all characters

  Overrides:
    `getWidths` in class `CharacterSet`
  Returns:
    the widths of all characters

### getXHeight

    public int getXHeight()

  XHeight refers to the height of the lower case letters above the baseline.

  Overrides:
    `getXHeight` in class `CharacterSet`
  Returns:
    the typical height of characters

### getWidth

    public int getWidth(char character)

  Get the width (in 1/1000ths of a point size) of the character identified by the parameter passed.

  Overrides:
    `getWidth` in class `CharacterSet`
  Parameters:
    `character` - the character from which the width will be calculated
  Returns:
    the width of the character

### mapChar

    public char mapChar(char c)

  Map a Unicode character to a code point in the font.

  Overrides:
    `mapChar` in class `CharacterSet`
  Parameters:
    `c` - character to map
  Returns:
    the mapped character
