Font-metrics-based line sizing and split

var pdf = new jsPDF('p','in','letter')
, sizes = [12, 16, 20]
, fonts = [['Times','Roman'],['Helvetica',''], ['Times','Italic']]
, font, size, lines
, verticalOffset = 0.5 // inches on a 8.5 x 11 inch sheet.
, loremipsum = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ...'

for (var i in fonts){
    if (fonts.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
        font = fonts[i]
        size = sizes[i]

        lines = pdf.setFont(font[0], font[1])
                    .setFontSize(size)
                    .splitTextToSize(loremipsum, 7.5)
        // Don't want to preset font, size to calculate the lines?
        // .splitTextToSize(text, maxsize, options)
        // allows you to pass an object with any of the following:
        // {
        //  'fontSize': 12
        //  , 'fontStyle': 'Italic'
        //  , 'fontName': 'Times'
        // }
        // Without these, .splitTextToSize will use current / default
        // font Family, Style, Size.

        pdf.text(0.5, verticalOffset + size / 72, lines)

        verticalOffset += (lines.length + 0.5) * size / 72
    }

Draw example: Images

// Because of security restrictions, getImageFromUrl will
// not load images from other domains.  Chrome has added
// security restrictions that prevent it from loading images
// when running local files.  Run with: chromium --allow-file-access-from-files --allow-file-access
// to temporarily get around this issue.

    };
    img.src = url;
}

// Since images are loaded asyncronously, we must wait to create
// the pdf until we actually have the image.
// If we already had the jpeg image binary data loaded into
// a string, we create the pdf without delay.

    // You can check the former one at examples/js/basic.js

    doc.addImage('monkey', 70, 10, 100, 120); // use the cached 'monkey' image, JPEG is optional regardless
    // As you can guess, using the cached image reduces the generated PDF size by 50%!
