NAME
       PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::Postscript - Support routines for using
       PostScript (Type 1) fonts

       Inherits from PDF::Builder::Resource::Font

METHODS
   new
           PDF::Builder::Resource::Font::Postscript->new($pdf, $psfile, %opts)

           Create an object for a PostScript font. Handles ASCII (.pfa),
           binary (.pfb), and T1 (.t1) font files, as well as ASCII (.afm) and
           binary (.pfm) metrics files.

           See "PS Fonts" in PDF::Builder::Docs for additional information.

           Valid %opts are:

           encode
               Changes the encoding of the font from its default. Notice that
               the encoding (not the entire font's glyph list) is shown in a
               PDF object (record), listing 256 glyphs associated with this
               encoding (and that are available in this font).

           afmfile
               Specifies the location of the ASCII font metrics file (.afm).
               It may be used with either an ASCII (.pfa) or binary (.pfb)
               glyph file.

               "afm_file" is still accepted as an (older) alternative to
               "afmfile".

           pfmfile
               Specifies the location of the binary font metrics file (.pfm).
               It may be used with either an ASCII (.pfa) or binary (.pfb)
               glyph file.

               "pfm_file" is still accepted as an (older) alternative to
               "pfmfile".

           pdfname
               Changes the reference-name of the font from its default.  The
               reference-name is normally generated automatically and can be
               retrieved via $pdfname=$font->name().

           dokern
               Enables kerning if data is available.

               "kerning" is still accepted as an (older) alternative to
               "dokern".
