This package implements jPod's view on the platform font implementation.

This package provides a dummy implementation for handling fonts that should be replaced by a concrete platform specific implementation, supporting your target graphics engine. This can be done using either the service provider concept or the setter with the VM singleton PlatformFontFactory.

In most cases, jPod will come along with an implementation ready to use in "jPodPFFT.jar" that registers itself as a service provider for "de.intarsys.pdf.platform.font.IPlatformFontFactory". This implementation will be based on the famous "freetype".

Application programmers will normally not use classes from this package. The implementation is used by the CSPlatformDevice.
