Method Detail

getEncoding

java.lang.String getEncoding()

isEmbedded

boolean isEmbedded()

isAntiAliased

boolean isAntiAliased()
This is controlled by the output target and the stylesheet. If the output target does not support aliasing, it makes no sense to enable it and all such requests are ignored.

Returns:

isFractionalMetrics

boolean isFractionalMetrics()
This is defined by the output target. This is not controlled by the stylesheet.

Returns:

getFontSize

double getFontSize()
The requested font size. A font may have a fractional font size (ie. 8.5 point). The font size may be influenced by the output target.

Returns:
the font size.
