NAME
PS_begin_font -- Starts a new Type3 font
SYNOPSIS
#include <pslib.h>
int PS_begin_font(PSDoc *psdoc, const char *fontname, int reserverd, double
a, double b, double c, double d, double e, double f, const char *optlist)
DESCRIPTION
PostScript supports various kinds of fonts. Type3 fonts are fonts
whose glyphs are created with a subset of regular PostScript
commands. This function starts a new Type3 font embedded
into the document which must be closed with PS_end_font.
Each glyph is created with consecutive calls of PS_end_glyph
and PS_end_glyph. Once the new font is created, it
can be used like any other font loaded with
PS_findfont. The passed floating point numbers
are used to set the font matrix. a and d are
usually set to 0.001. The remaining numbers can be left
zero.
Each call of PS_begin_font must be accompanied by a call to
PS_end_pattern(3).
PS_begin_font has been introduced in version 0.4.0 of pslib.
RETURN VALUE
Returns identifier of the font or zero in case of an error.
The identifier is a positiv number greater 0.
