<para>
If <parameter>filename</parameter> is the name of an FDB file
(i.e., it ends in ".fdb"), load the font definition found in said
file. Otherwise, create a browser-defined font reference.
</para>
<para>
FDB ("font definition block") is a very simple wrapper for the SWF DefineFont2
block which contains a full description of a font. One may create FDB files from
SWT Generator template files with the included makefdb utility- look in the
util directory off the main ming distribution directory.
</para>
<para>
Browser-defined fonts don't contain any information about the font other
than its name. It is assumed that the font definition will be provided by
the movie player. The fonts _serif, _sans, and _typewriter should always
be available. For example:
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$f = newSWFFont("_sans");
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
will give you the standard sans-serif font, probably the same as what you'd get
with <literal><font name="sans-serif"></literal> in HTML.
</para>
<para>
<function>swffont</function> returns a reference to the font
definition, for use in the <function>swftext->setfont</function>
and the <function>swftextfield->setfont</function> methods.
</para>
<simpara>
SWFFont has the following methods : <function>swffont->getwidth</function>.
