@chr33s/pdf-standard-fonts

Collection of metrics and encodings for the standard 14 PDF fonts

This project is a fork of afm and was created for use in @chr33s/pdf. This forks exists for two primary reasons:

1. The original project did not include mappings from Unicode to WinAnsi/ZapfDingbats/Symbol encodings.
2. The font metrics included in the original project were uncompressed (not ideal for usage in pdf).

Usage

import { Font, FontNames, Encodings } from '@chr33s/pdf-standard-fonts';

const codePoint = '∑'.charCodeAt(0);

const glyph = Encodings.Symbol.encodeUnicodeCodePoint(codePoint);
glyph // => { code: 229, name: 'summation' }

const font = Font.load(FontNames.Symbol);
const width = font.getWidthOfGlyph(glyph.name);
width // => 713
