Struct Face

pub struct Face<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A font face.

Provides a high-level API for working with TrueType fonts. If you’re not familiar with how TrueType works internally, you should use this type. If you do know and want a bit more low-level access - checkout FaceTables.

Note that Face doesn’t own the font data and doesn’t allocate anything in heap. Therefore you cannot “store” it. The idea is that you should parse the Face when needed, get required data and forget about it. That’s why the initial parsing is highly optimized and should not become a bottleneck.

If you still want to store Face - checkout owned_ttf_parser. Requires unsafe.

While Face is technically copyable, we disallow it because it’s almost 2KB big.

Implementations

impl<'a> Face<'a>

pub fn from_slice(data: &'a [u8], index: u32) -> Result<Self, FaceParsingError>

👎Deprecated since 0.16.0: use parse instead

Creates a new Face from a raw data.

index indicates the specific font face in a font collection. Use fonts_in_collection to get the total number of font faces. Set to 0 if unsure.

This method will do some parsing and sanitization, but in general can be considered free. No significant performance overhead.

Required tables: head, hhea and maxp.

If an optional table has invalid data it will be skipped.

pub fn parse(data: &'a [u8], index: u32) -> Result<Self, FaceParsingError>

pub fn outline_glyph( &self, glyph_id: GlyphId, builder: &mut dyn OutlineBuilder, ) -> Option<Rect>

Outlines a glyph and returns its tight bounding box.

Warning: since ttf-parser is a pull parser, OutlineBuilder will emit segments even when outline is partially malformed. You must check outline_glyph() result before using OutlineBuilder’s output.

This method is affected by variation axes.

Returns None when glyph has no outline or on error.

Example

use std::fmt::Write;
use ttf_parser;

struct Builder(String);

impl ttf_parser::OutlineBuilder for Builder {
    fn move_to(&mut self, x: f32, y: f32) {
        write!(&mut self.0, "M {} {} ", x, y).unwrap();
    }

    fn line_to(&mut self, x: f32, y: f32) {
        write!(&mut self.0, "L {} {} ", x, y).unwrap();
    }

    fn quad_to(&mut self, x1: f32, y1: f32, x: f32, y: f32) {
        write!(&mut self.0, "Q {} {} {} {} ", x1, y1, x, y).unwrap();
    }

    fn curve_to(&mut self, x1: f32, y1: f32, x2: f32, y2: f32, x: f32, y: f32) {
        write!(&mut self.0, "C {} {} {} {} {} {} ", x1, y1, x2, y2, x, y).unwrap();
    }

    fn close(&mut self) {
        write!(&mut self.0, "Z ").unwrap();
    }
}

let data = std::fs::read("tests/fonts/demo.ttf").unwrap();
let face = ttf_parser::Face::parse(&data, 0).unwrap();
let mut builder = Builder(String::new());
let bbox = face.outline_glyph(ttf_parser::GlyphId(1), &mut builder).unwrap();
assert_eq!(builder.0, "M 173 267 L 369 267 L 270 587 L 173 267 Z M 6 0 L 224 656 \
                       L 320 656 L 541 0 L 452 0 L 390 200 L 151 200 L 85 0 L 6 0 Z ");
assert_eq!(bbox, ttf_parser::Rect { x_min: 6, y_min: 0, x_max: 541, y_max: 656 });

pub fn glyph_bounding_box(&self, glyph_id: GlyphId) -> Option<Rect>

Returns a tight glyph bounding box.

This is just a shorthand for outline_glyph() since only the glyf table stores a bounding box. We ignore glyf table bboxes because they can be malformed. In case of CFF and variable fonts we have to actually outline a glyph to find it’s bounding box.

When a glyph is defined by a raster or a vector image, that can be obtained via glyph_image(), the bounding box must be calculated manually and this method will return None.

Note: the returned bbox is not validated in any way. A font file can have a glyph bbox set to zero/negative width and/or height and this is perfectly ok. For calculated bboxes, zero width and/or height is also perfectly fine.

This method is affected by variation axes.

pub fn global_bounding_box(&self) -> Rect

Returns a bounding box that large enough to enclose any glyph from the face.

pub fn glyph_raster_image( &self, glyph_id: GlyphId, pixels_per_em: u16, ) -> Option<RasterGlyphImage<'_>>

Returns a reference to a glyph’s raster image.

A font can define a glyph using a raster or a vector image instead of a simple outline. Which is primarily used for emojis. This method should be used to access raster images.

pixels_per_em allows selecting a preferred image size. The chosen size will be closer to an upper one. So when font has 64px and 96px images and pixels_per_em is set to 72, 96px image will be returned. To get the largest image simply use std::u16::MAX.

Note that this method will return an encoded image. It should be decoded by the caller. We don’t validate or preprocess it in any way.

Also, a font can contain both: images and outlines. So when this method returns None you should also try outline_glyph() afterwards.

There are multiple ways an image can be stored in a TrueType font and this method supports most of them. This includes sbix, bloc + bdat, EBLC + EBDT, CBLC + CBDT. And font’s tables will be accesses in this specific order.

pub fn glyph_svg_image(&self, glyph_id: GlyphId) -> Option<SvgDocument<'a>>

Returns a reference to a glyph’s SVG image.

A font can define a glyph using a raster or a vector image instead of a simple outline. Which is primarily used for emojis. This method should be used to access SVG images.

Note that this method will return just an SVG data. It should be rendered or even decompressed (in case of SVGZ) by the caller. We don’t validate or preprocess it in any way.

Also, a font can contain both: images and outlines. So when this method returns None you should also try outline_glyph() afterwards.

pub fn is_color_glyph(&self, glyph_id: GlyphId) -> bool

Returns true if the glyph can be colored/painted using the COLR+CPAL tables.

See paint_color_glyph for details.

pub fn color_palettes(&self) -> Option<NonZeroU16>

Returns the number of palettes stored in the COLR+CPAL tables.

See paint_color_glyph for details.

pub fn paint_color_glyph( &self, glyph_id: GlyphId, palette: u16, foreground_color: RgbaColor, painter: &mut dyn Painter<'a>, ) -> Option<()>

Paints a color glyph from the COLR table.

A font can have multiple palettes, which you can check via color_palettes. If unsure, just pass 0 to the palette argument, which is the default.

A font can define a glyph using layers of colored shapes instead of a simple outline. Which is primarily used for emojis. This method should be used to access glyphs defined in the COLR table.

Also, a font can contain both: a layered definition and outlines. So when this method returns None you should also try outline_glyph afterwards.

Returns None if the glyph has no COLR definition or if the glyph definition is malformed.

See examples/font2svg.rs for usage examples.

pub fn variation_axes(&self) -> LazyArray16<'a, VariationAxis>

Returns an iterator over variation axes.

pub fn set_variation(&mut self, axis: Tag, value: f32) -> Option<()>

Sets a variation axis coordinate.

This is one of the two only mutable methods in the library. We can simplify the API a lot by storing the variable coordinates in the face object itself.

Since coordinates are stored on the stack, we allow only 64 of them.

Returns None when face is not variable or doesn’t have such axis.

pub fn variation_coordinates(&self) -> &[NormalizedCoordinate]

Returns the current normalized variation coordinates.

pub fn has_non_default_variation_coordinates(&self) -> bool

Checks that face has non-default variation coordinates.
