Class PDFFontEncoding

public class PDFFontEncoding extends Object

The PDFFont encoding encapsulates the mapping from character codes in the PDF document to glyphs of the font. Encodings take two basic forms. For Type1, TrueType, and Type3 fonts, the encoding maps from character codes to Strings, which represent the glyphs of the font. For Type0 fonts, the mapping is a CMap which maps character codes to characters in one of many descendant fonts. Note that the data in the PDF might be ASCII characters (bytes) or it might be a multi-byte format such as unicode. For now we will assume all glyph ids fit into at most the two bytes of a character.
