GrapeCity.Documents.Pdf.Text.FontDescriptor

FontDescriptor Class

Specifies metrics and other attributes of a FontSimple or a CIDFont as a whole, as distinct from the metrics of individual glyphs. These font metrics provide information that enables a consumer application to synthesize a substitute font or select a similar font when the font program is unavailable.
