Xxx-Bin / php-font-lib

A library to read, parse, export and make subsets of different types of font files.

PHP Font Lib

This library can be used to:

• Read TrueType, OpenType (with TrueType glyphs), WOFF font files
• Extract basic info (name, style, etc)
• Extract advanced info (horizontal metrics, glyph names, glyph shapes, etc)
• Make an Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) file from a font

You can find a demo GUI here.

This project was initiated by the need to read font files in the DOMPDF project.

Usage Example

$font = \FontLib\Font::load('../../fontfile.ttf');
$font->parse();  // for getFontWeight() to work this call must be done first!
echo $font->getFontName() .'<br>';
echo $font->getFontSubfamily() .'<br>';
echo $font->getFontSubfamilyID() .'<br>';
echo $font->getFontFullName() .'<br>';
echo $font->getFontVersion() .'<br>';
echo $font->getFontWeight() .'<br>';
echo $font->getFontPostscriptName() .'<br>';
$font->close();
