  • Field Details

    • ALIASES

      private static final Map<String,Standard14Fonts.FontName> ALIASES
      Contains all base names and alias names for the known fonts. For base fonts both the key and the value will be the base name. For aliases, the key is an alias, and the value is a FontName. We want a single lookup in the map to find the font both by a base name or an alias.
    • FONTS

      private static final Map<Standard14Fonts.FontName,FontMetrics> FONTS
      Contains the font metrics for the standard 14 fonts. The key is the font name, value is a FontMetrics instance. Metrics are loaded into this map on demand, only if needed.

    • GENERIC_FONTS

      private static final Map<Standard14Fonts.FontName,FontBoxFont> GENERIC_FONTS
      Contains the mapped fonts for the standard 14 fonts. The key is the font name, value is a FontBoxFont instance. FontBoxFont are loaded into this map on demand, only if needed.

    • mapName

      private static void mapName(Standard14Fonts.FontName baseName)
      Adds a standard font name to the map of known aliases, to simplify the logic of finding font metrics by name. We want a single lookup in the map to find the font both by a base name or an alias.

      alias - an alias for the font
      baseName - the font name of the Standard 14 font
