public interface FontIdentifier
extends java.io.Serializable

A font identifier is a general handle to map Font-Metrics for a given font. The same font identifier may be used by several fonts, if the fonts share the same metrics (this is commonly true for TrueType fonts).

Method Summary

boolean	equals(java.lang.Object o)
FontType	getFontType() Returns the general type of this font identifier.
int	hashCode()
boolean	isScalable() Defines, whether the font identifier represents a scalable font type.

Method Detail

equals

boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

isScalable

boolean isScalable()

Defines, whether the font identifier represents a scalable font type. Such fonts usually create one font metric object for each physical font, and apply the font size afterwards.

Returns:

true, if the font is scalable, false otherwise

getFontType

FontType getFontType()

Returns the general type of this font identifier. This is for debugging, not for the real world.

Returns:
