\keyword{device}{Type1Font}
\begin{Description}\relax
These functions are used to define the translation of a \R{} graphics
font family name to a Type 1 or CID font descriptions, used by both
the \code{\LinkA{postscript}{postscript}} and \code{\LinkA{pdf}{pdf}} graphics devices.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
Type1Font(family, metrics, encoding = "default")

CIDFont(family, cmap, cmapEncoding, pdfresource = "")
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{family}] a character string giving the name to be used internally
for a Type 1 or CID-keyed font family.  This needs to uniquely
identify each family, so if you modify a family which is in use
(see \code{\LinkA{postscriptFonts}{postscriptFonts}}) you need to change the family name.
\item[\code{metrics}] a character vector of four or five strings giving paths
to the afm (Adobe Font Metric) files for the font.
\item[\code{cmap}] the name of a CMap file for a CID-keyed font.
\item[\code{encoding}] for \code{Type1Font}, the name of an encoding file.
Defaults to \code{"default"}, which maps on this platform to
"ISOLatin1.enc".
Otherwise, a file name in the \file{enc} directory of the
\pkg{grDevices} package, which is used if the path does not contain a
path separator.  An extension \code{".enc"} can be omitted.
\item[\code{cmapEncoding}] The name of a character encoding to be used with the named CMap
file: strings will be translated to this encoding when written to
the file.
\item[\code{pdfresource}] A chunk of PDF code;  only required for using
a CID-keyed font on \code{pdf}; users should not be expected to
provide this.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
For \code{Type1Fonts}, if four \file{.afm} files are supplied the
fifth is taken to be \code{"Symbol.afm"}.  Relative paths are taken
relative to the directory \file{\var{\LinkA{R\_HOME}{R.Rul.HOME}}/library/grDevices/afm}.
The fifth (symbol) font must be in \code{AdobeSym} encoding.
However, the glyphs in the first four fonts are referenced by name
and any encoding given within the \file{.afm} files is not used.

Glyphs in CID-keyed fonts are accessed by ID (number) and not by name.
The CMap file maps encoded strings (usually in a MBCS) to IDs, so
\code{cmap} and \code{cmapEncoding} specifications must match.  There
are no real bold or italic versions of CID fonts (bold/italic were
very rarely used in traditional CJK topography), and for the
\code{\LinkA{pdf}{pdf}} device all four font faces will be identical.
However, for the \code{\LinkA{postscript}{postscript}} device, bold and italic (and
bold italic) are emulated.

CID-keyed fonts are intended only for use for the glyphs of CJK
languages, which are all monospaced and are all treated as filling the
same bounding box.  (Thus \code{\LinkA{plotmath}{plotmath}} will work with such
characters, but the spacing will be less carefully controlled than
with Western glyphs.)  The CID-keyed fonts do contain other
characters, including a Latin alphabet:  non-CJK glyphs are regarded
as monospaced with half the width of CJK glyphs.  This is often the
case, but sometimes Latin glyphs designed for proportional spacing are
used (and may look odd).  We strongly recommend that CID-keyed fonts
are \bold{only} used for CJK glyphs.
