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"); ? |
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().
