matplotlib._type1font

A class representing a Type 1 font.

This version reads pfa and pfb files and splits them for embedding in pdf files. It also supports SlantFont and ExtendFont transformations, similarly to pdfTeX and friends. There is no support yet for subsetting.

Usage:

font = Type1Font(filename)
clear_part, encrypted_part, finale = font.parts
slanted_font = font.transform({'slant': 0.167})
extended_font = font.transform({'extend': 1.2})
