# ## TrueType Fonts
#
# This example displays all glyphs of a TrueType font and shows that using a
# TrueType font with HexaPDF is very similar to using one of the standard PDF
# fonts.
#
# Before a TrueType font can be used, HexaPDF needs to be made aware of it. This
# is done by setting the configuration option 'font.map'. For one-off usage of a
# font file, the file name itself can also be used.
#
# Once that is done the [HexaPDF::Content::Canvas#font] method can be used as
# usual.
#
# Usage:
# : `ruby truetype.rb [FONT_FILE]`
#
