Method Details

createFonts

public static FontDelegate[] createFonts(ByteBuffer buf)
            throws FontFormatException
Creates FontDelegate objects for the fonts in the specified buffer. The following font formats are currently recognized: recognized font formats are:

  • OpenType (*.otf);
  • TrueType (*.ttf);
  • TrueType Collections (*.ttc);
  • Apple MacOS X data-fork font (*.dfont).

Some formats may contain more than a single font, for example *.ttc and *.dfont files. This is the reason why this function returns an array.

The implementation reads data from the buffer only when needed. Therefore, it greatly increases efficiency if buf has been obtained through mapping a file into the virtual address space.

Throws:
FontFormatException - if the font data is not in one of the known formats.
