Detailed Description

Class for document-independent font information.

Finale documents maintain a list of internal font IDs which are specific to that document. These font IDs are required for most font operations within the document. For example "Time New Roman" may have font ID 7 in one document and 11 in another. It appears that Finale assigns the ID values as fonts are referenced by the document.

This has the consequence that any time the ID is required, the font may be added to the document to obtain the ID. This can result in an unexpected modification of the document that must be managed as part of an Undo block. Note that all Lua scripts have an automatic Undo block in the main execution path, but you must decide whether to save the document with the font added or roll the changes back by canceling the Undo block. (A true setting for either HandlesUndo or NoStore in the finaleplugin namespace causes an automatic rollback.)

Examples of methods and functions that require the internal font ID include (but are not limited to)

• GetIDByName
• GetIsSMuFLFont
• IsMacSymbolFont
• MakeDefaultMusicFont
• Loading FCTextMetrics
• Any method of any class that contains Set...FontInfo in its name, with the exception of FCControl and its subclasses.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FCFontInfo() [1/2]

FCFontInfo::FCFontInfo

(

)

Default constructor. This constructor does not add the font to the current document. However, if you call any method that requires the internal font ID, the font will be added to the current document when that method is called, if it is not already there. (See the detailed description of FCFontInfo for more information.)

Defaults to 12 point Times New Roman.

Lua-supported.

FCFontInfo() [2/2]

FCFontInfo::FCFontInfo	(	const FCString &	name,
		double	size,
		FLAG_16	enigmastyles = ENIGMASTYLE_PLAIN )

Constructor with name and size and optional styles. This constructor adds the font to the current document if it is not already there, so you must manage the undo block appropriately when using this constructor.

Lua-supported (0.68).

Parameters

name	The name of the font. For Lua callers, this may be a Lua string.
size	The size of the font.
enigmastyles	(optional) a bitwise combination of ENIGMASTYLES values for the font. Defaults to ENIGMASTYLE_PLAIN.

Member Function Documentation

CalcAverageRomanCharacterWidthEVPUs()

double FCFontInfo::CalcAverageRomanCharacterWidthEVPUs

(

)

const

Calculates the average width of the roman characters in the font in EVPUs.

Warning

This function uses FCTextMetrics to get the width of characters. Loading FCTextMetrics only works if a document is loaded. If you attempt to call this function from Lua when a document is not loaded, it throws a runtime error. C++ clients get 0 returned.

Lua-supported (0.68).

Returns

average width in EVPU or zero if not document is loaded.

CalcAverageRomanCharacterWidthPoints()

double FCFontInfo::CalcAverageRomanCharacterWidthPoints ( ) const

inline

Calculates the average width of the roman characters in the font in points.

Warning

This function uses FCTextMetrics to get the width of characters. Loading FCTextMetrics only works if a document is loaded. If you attempt to call this function from Lua when a document is not loaded, it throws a runtime error. C++ clients get 0 returned.

Lua-supported (0.68).

Returns

average width in points or zero if not document is loaded. These are true 72 dpi points on either Windows or macOS.

ClassName()

const char * FCFontInfo::ClassName ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the name of the class, for diagnostic purposes. This method MUST be overwritten in each child class.

Lua-supported.

Implements __FCBase.

CopyFrom()

void FCFontInfo::CopyFrom

(

const FCFontInfo *

pInfo

)

Copies data from another font info object.

Lua-supported.

CreateCopy()

FCFontInfo * FCFontInfo::CreateCopy ( )

inline

Creates a copy of the font info object on the heap.

The caller must remove the created object from the heap after use.

Returns

The created object.

CreateDescription()

FCString * FCFontInfo::CreateDescription

(

)

const

Returns an FCString containing the description of the font.

C++ callers must dispose of the string using either delete or a smart pointer.

Lua-supported (0.68)

CreateEnigmaString()

FCString * FCFontInfo::CreateEnigmaString

(

FCString *

pFontTagString = NULL

)

Returns a created FCString object that contains the font information as an Enigma string.

The resulting Enigma string contains tags for font name, size and style.

It's the caller's responsibility to clean up the object after use.

Lua-supported.

Parameters

pFontTagString

(optional) the tag to use for the font tag. If omitted or NULL, then "^font" is used.

Returns

the created string containg the font name, size, and style tags.

CreateEnigmaStyleString()

FCString * FCFontInfo::CreateEnigmaStyleString

(

)

Creates a FCString object and creates the Enigma font style info string, based on only the current font style information.

The caller must delete the created object from the heap after use.

Lua-supported.

DebugDump()

void FCFontInfo::DebugDump ( )

overridevirtual

Outputs the class data/information for debugging purposes.

Accessible if PDK_FRAMEWORK_DEBUG is defined.

When child class inherit this method to output the contents of its own members, it should call the parent before providing its own output.

Reimplemented from __FCBase.

GetAbsolute()

bool FCFontInfo::GetAbsolute ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the font size is absolute.

Lua-supported (also as property).

GetBold()

bool FCFontInfo::GetBold ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the font style is boldface.

Lua-supported (also as property).

GetClassID()

const PDKFRAMEWORK_CLASSID FCFontInfo::GetClassID ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the internal class ID for the PDK Framework class. This is implemented mostly because Lua has problems to resolve the true classes of inherited objects.

This method must be overwritten by all child classes.

Lua-supported (also read-only property) (0.55).

Reimplemented from __FCBase.

GetEnigmaStyles()

FLAG_16 FCFontInfo::GetEnigmaStyles ( ) const

inline

Gets the font style as standard Enigma bit storage.

Lua-supported (also as property).

Returns

A bitwise combination of ENIGMASTYLES values.

GetFontID()

EFONTID FCFontInfo::GetFontID ( ) const

inline

Gets the internal document-specific font ID. It may not yet have been assigned a value, depending on which constructor you used. Unless you have a specific reason to inspect the current value, it is safer to use GetIDByName to get the internal font ID. Note, however, that GetIDByName modifies the document by adding the font to it, if the font is not currently in the document.

See further comments at SetFontID.

Lua-supported (also as property) (0.72)

Returns

the internal font ID.

GetHidden()

bool FCFontInfo::GetHidden ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the font style is hidden (don't print).

Lua-supported (also as property).

GetIDByName()

EFONTID FCFontInfo::GetIDByName

(

)

const

Gets the internal Enigma font ID for the current document by searching for the font name. The value in GetFontID is used only to determine if this instance refers to the Default Music Font. If so, the font ID of the Default Music Font is returned (which is always zero in any document).

Note that GetIDByName does not modify the internal font number of the current instance. You can use GetIDByName reliably to assign properties of an FCFontInfo from one document to an instance from another. This is not guaranteed to work for GetFontID.

Warning

If the current Finale document does not contain the font specified by the name, this function adds it to the document.

Lua-supported (0.72).

Returns

the document-specific font number for the current instance.

GetIsSMuFLFont()

bool FCFontInfo::GetIsSMuFLFont ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the font is a SMuFL font.

Only supported when running Finale 27.1 or higher. For any version of Finale lower than this, this method always returns false.
