## Package java.awt.font

Provides classes and interface relating to fonts.

See:
Description

Interface Summary
MultipleMaster | The `MultipleMaster` interface represents Type 1 Multiple Master fonts.
OpenType | The `OpenType` interface represents OpenType and TrueType fonts.

Class Summary
FontRenderContext | The `FontRenderContext` class is a container for the information needed to correctly measure text.
GlyphJustificationInfo | The `GlyphJustificationInfo` class represents information about the justification properties of a glyph.
GlyphMetrics | The `GlyphMetrics` class represents infomation for a single glyph.
GlyphVector | A `GlyphVector` object is a collection of glyphs containing geometric information for the placement of each glyph in a transformed coordinate space which corresponds to the device on which the `GlyphVector` is ultimately displayed.
GraphicAttribute | This class is used with the CHAR_REPLACEMENT attribute.
ImageGraphicAttribute | The `ImageGraphicAttribute` class is an implementation of `GraphicAttribute` which draws images in a `TextLayout`.
LayoutPath | LayoutPath provides a mapping between locations relative to the baseline and points in user space.
LineBreakMeasurer | The `LineBreakMeasurer` class allows styled text to be broken into lines (or segments) that fit within a particular visual advance.
LineMetrics | The `LineMetrics` class allows access to the metrics needed to layout characters along a line and to layout of a set of lines.
NumericShaper | The `NumericShaper` class is used to convert Latin-1 (European) digits to other Unicode decimal digits.
ShapeGraphicAttribute | The `ShapeGraphicAttribute` class is an implementation of `GraphicAttribute` that draws shapes in a `TextLayout`.
TextAttribute | The `TextAttribute` class defines attribute keys and attribute values used for text rendering.
TextHitInfo | The `TextHitInfo` class represents a character position in a text model, and a bias, or "side," of the character.
TextLayout | `TextLayout` is an immutable graphical representation of styled character data.
TextLayout.CaretPolicy | Defines a policy for determining the strong caret location.
TextMeasurer | The `TextMeasurer` class provides the primitive operations needed for line break: measuring up to a given advance, determining the advance of a range of characters, and generating a `TextLayout` for a range of characters.
TransformAttribute | The `TransformAttribute` class provides an immutable wrapper for a transform so that it is safe to use as an attribute.
