lamina

font-not-shapable

All codes

  • Type: error
  • Kind: unsupported (valid input that lamina doesn’t implement)

What happened

A standard 14 font (Font::standard) was given to the shaper, itemize, break_lines or pdf_run.

Why

The standard 14 fonts are referred to by name and never embedded: lamina has their metrics (Adobe’s AFM files) but no font program, so there is nothing for HarfRust to shape with, no cmap for itemizing, and no CIDs for a shaped run (a standard 14 font is written as a simple font with one-byte codes).

How to fix

Draw standard 14 text with FontRegistry::encode (one glyph per character, kerning not applied), or load a real font with Font::from_bytes and shape with it.

Example

let helvetica = Font::standard(Standard14::Helvetica);
shaper.shape(&helvetica, "Hello", &options)?; // font-not-shapable

Data fields

  • font: the standard font’s PostScript name (fixed text: one of the fourteen).
