Description
new
swffont ( string filename)
| Warning |
This function is
EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the
name of this function, and anything else documented about this
function may change without notice in a future release of PHP.
Use this function at your own risk. |
If filename is the name of an FDB file
(i.e., it ends in ".fdb"), load the font definition found in said
file. Otherwise, create a browser-defined font reference.
FDB ("font definition block") is a very simple wrapper for the SWF DefineFont2
block which contains a full description of a font. One may create FDB files from
SWT Generator template files with the included makefdb utility- look in the
util directory off the main ming distribution directory.
Browser-defined fonts don't contain any information about the font other
than its name. It is assumed that the font definition will be provided by
the movie player. The fonts _serif, _sans, and _typewriter should always
be available. For example:
<?php
$f = newSWFFont("_sans");
?> |
will give you the standard sans-serif font, probably the same as what you'd get
with
<font name="sans-serif"> in HTML.
swffont() returns a reference to the font
definition, for use in the SWFText->setFont()
and the SWFTextField->setFont() methods.
SWFFont has the following methods : swffont->getwidth().
