Method Detail

getContentsPostScriptHex

public byte[] getContentsPostScriptHex()

Returns a byte array containing the font file contents, so that they can be embedded in other documents. The encrypted portion of the font file should be returned in the so-called "Hexadecimal Format" described in Section 3.1 of Adobe Technical Note #5040. This form is useful for embedding in documents that will be sent to PostScript interpreters, which must always have 7-bit ASCII input.

Note that if the font is configured to be subsetted, the byte arrays returned will contain only the subsetted portion of the font file.

Returns:

The byte array containing the font file contents that are available for embedding, or null if Font.isEmbeddable() is false.
