public abstract class PDFGlyphVector
extends Object

A PDFGlyphVector is a sequence of glyphs in a particular font. It's a very low-level class and most likely the LayoutBox is a better option, but if there's a requirement to get text onto the page as fast as possible without any layout then this class can be used. A quick example:

 PDFStyle style = ...
 PDFGlyphVector vector = style.createGlyphVector("Hello World", Locale.getDefault());
 canvas.drawGlyphVector(vector, x, y);
