Yes, these are just implementation details of our rendering component. At this point they’re mostly artefacts of the previous design and really needs to be moved to PDFont, where it can be public. The various subclasses of PDFont have a getPath(…) method which can be called to get a GeneralPath from a glyph name / CID. Much as I’d like to suggest something better, you can copy/paste the code from Glyph2D to get the mapping. — John > Thanks! > > Daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
