Method Detail

getFontName

java.lang.String getFontName(FontUse fontUse)

For a given FontUse instance, returns the name by which the font is referred within the PDF document. This is usually in the form of "Fx", where "x" is a number assigned sequentially by the application creating the PDF document, for example "F2". Although the Graphic system has a handle to the FontUse instance itself, it has no way of knowing by what name it should refer to that font when using it to write text.

Parameters:

fontUse - The FontUse instance for which a name is needed.

Returns:

The font name to be used when writing content to the PDF document.
