Detailed Description

FontEnginePlugin is the interface definition for font engine plugins.

Font engine plugins contain both font loaders for creating FontFile objects and shapers. Kanzi uses the shapers to shape text that uses Fonts from the same plugin.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enumeration for different types of font engine (rasterizer library).

Enumerator
MockFontEngine 

MockFontEngine does not use a rasterizer and you cannot use it to render text.

FreeTypeFontEngine 

FreeTypeFontEngine uses the FreeType rasterizer, HarfBuzz shaper, and ICU bidirectional library, and libunibreak for line breaking.

ITypeFontEngine 

ITypeFontEngine uses the Monotype iType rasterizer and WorldType® Shaper™ for shaping.

Member Function Documentation

virtual FontEngine kanzi::FontEnginePlugin::getEngineType ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the font engine type that is used by this font engine plugin.

Returns
Type of the font engine.

Implemented in kanzi::ItypeFontEnginePlugin, and kanzi::FreeTypeFontEnginePlugin.

virtual FontLoaderPtr kanzi::FontEnginePlugin::getFontLoader ( Domain domain) const
pure virtual

Creates a FontLoader object.

Parameters
domainThe UI domain to which you want the font family to belong.
Returns
Pointer to the FontLoader object.

Implemented in kanzi::ItypeFontEnginePlugin, and kanzi::FreeTypeFontEnginePlugin.

virtual TextShaperPtr kanzi::FontEnginePlugin::getShaper ( const FontRuntime font) const
pure virtual

Creates a TextShaper object.

Parameters
fontThe Font that the shaper will use.
Returns
Pointer to the TextShaper object.

Implemented in kanzi::ItypeFontEnginePlugin, and kanzi::FreeTypeFontEnginePlugin.

virtual void kanzi::FontEnginePlugin::initialize ( const BackendProperties properties)
pure virtual

Initializes a font backend with the given properties.

Parameters
propertiesThe properties with which to initialize a font backend.
Since
Kanzi 3.9.4

Implemented in kanzi::ItypeFontEnginePlugin, and kanzi::FreeTypeFontEnginePlugin.

Member Data Documentation

const string kanzi::FontEnginePlugin::s_FreeTypeFontEngineName
static

Name of the FreeType font engine plugin.

Kanzi uses this name to automatically search and register font engine with this name to be available to the font manager.

const string kanzi::FontEnginePlugin::s_iTypeFontEngineName
static

Name of the iType font engine plugin.

Kanzi uses this name to automatically search and register font engine with this name to be available to the font manager.
