These functions provide font services to Photon applications and drivers. Using them, you can:

• calculate text extents and metrics
• generate bitmaps of character strings.

There are two separate libraries of font functions, the Photon library and the font library font_api. Functions that have the suffix Cx of Dllare the font library versions. The font library functions use the font server plugin phfont.so, and let you choose how your application attaches to the font server. See the Fonts chapter of the Photon Programmer's Guide for more information.
