<hr/><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>Font support with font data provided by the user. </p>
<p>The user-font feature allows the cairo user to provide drawings for glyphs in a font. This is most useful in implementing fonts in non-standard formats, like SVG fonts and Flash fonts, but can also be used by games and other application to draw "funky" fonts.</p>
<p>To use user fonts, you must derive from this class and implement the virtual functions below. The only virtual function that absolutely must be implemented is <a class="el" href="classCairo_1_1UserFontFace.html#a2e53435e92f9975213bd19969cb69375" title="This function is called when a user scaled-font needs to render a glyph.">render_glyph()</a>. You should make the constructor protected and provide a factory function that returns a new object in a <a class="el" href="classCairo_1_1RefPtr.html" title="RefPtr<> is a reference-counting shared smartpointer.">RefPtr</a> since it is a refcounted object</p>

</pre></div><p>The preceding is obviously a very contrived example, but the important thing to know is that you *must* cache all userfont objects yourself as long as you intend to render text with that font.

<p>This function is called when a user scaled-font needs to render a glyph. </p>
<p>You must implement this in your derived class, and it is expected to draw the glyph with code <em>glyph</em> to the <a class="el" href="classCairo_1_1Context.html" title="Context is the main class used to draw in cairomm.">Context</a> <em>cr</em>. <em>cr</em> is prepared such that the glyph drawing is done in font space. That is, the matrix set on <em>cr</em> is the scale matrix of <em>scaled_font</em>, The <em>extents</em> argument is where the user font sets the font extents for scaled_font. However, if user prefers to draw in user space, they can achieve that by changing the matrix on <em>cr</em>. All cairo rendering operations to <em>cr</em> are permitted, however, the result is undefined if any source other than the default source on <em>cr</em> is used. That means, glyph bitmaps should be rendered using <a class="el" href="classCairo_1_1Context.html#a2ad3ea59afb6bb4fa04d000f5e9c3cf2" title="A drawing operator that paints the current source using the alpha channel of pattern as a mask...">Context::mask()</a> instead of <a class="el" href="classCairo_1_1Context.html#ad919eae3bc3b9827a3c1ceff2d86833e" title="A drawing operator that paints the current source everywhere within the current clip region...">Context::paint()</a>.</p>
<p>Other non-default settings on <em>cr</em> include a font size of 1.0 (given that it is set up to be in font space), and font options corresponding to <em>scaled_font</em>.</p>
<p>The <em>extents</em> argument is preset to have x_bearing, width, and y_advance of zero, y_bearing set to -font_extents.ascent, height to font_extents.ascent+font_extents.descent, and x_advance to font_extents.max_x_advance. The only field user needs to set in majority of cases is x_advance. If the width field is zero upon this function returning (which is its preset value), the glyph extents are automatically computed based on the drawings done to <em>cr</em>. This is in most cases exactly what the desired behavior is. However, if for any reason this function sets the extents, it must be ink extents, and include the extents of all drawing done to <em>cr</em>.</p>

<p>Using this function, the user-font has full control on glyphs and their positions. That means, it allows for features like ligatures and kerning, as well as complex shaping required for scripts like Arabic and Indic.</p>
<p>This function should populate the glyph indices and positions (in font space) assuming that the text is to be shown at the origin.</p>
<p>If clusters is not empty, cluster mapping should be computed.</p>
<p>If you do not override this virtual function in your derived class, the unicode_to_glyph function is used instead.</p>
<p>Note: While cairo does not impose any limitation on glyph indices, some applications may assume that a glyph index fits in a 16-bit unsigned integer. As such, it is advised that user-fonts keep their glyphs in the 0 to 65535 range. Furthermore, some applications may assume that glyph 0 is a special glyph-not-found glyph. User-fonts are advised to use glyph 0 for such purposes and do not use that glyph value for other purposes.</p>

<p>This function is called to convert an input Unicode character to a single glyph. </p>
<p>This is used by the <a class="el" href="classCairo_1_1Context.html#a584596d6f12dbea30519b908cacce038">Context::show_text()</a> operation.</p>
<p>This function is used to provide the same functionality as the text_to_glyphs callback does but has much less control on the output, in exchange for increased ease of use. The inherent assumption to using this callback is that each character maps to one glyph, and that the mapping is context independent. It also assumes that glyphs are positioned according to their advance width. These mean no ligatures, kerning, or complex scripts can be implemented using this callback.</p>
<p>The default implementation of this function is an identity mapping from Unicode code-points to glyph indices. If you need different behavior, you may override this virtual function in your derived class.</p>
<p>Note: While cairo does not impose any limitation on glyph indices, some applications may assume that a glyph index fits in a 16-bit unsigned integer. As such, it is advised that user-fonts keep their glyphs in the 0 to 65535 range. Furthermore, some applications may assume that glyph 0 is a special glyph-not-found glyph. User-fonts are advised to use glyph 0 for such purposes and do not use that glyph value for other purposes.</p>
