Ben Weiner has been looking at ways to extract metadata from font files directly, but I think he gave up because he couldn't complete it in the time he had to allocate to it. He was looking at the "TTX" tools for this, I think. Anyway, since none of our files have ID3 tags inside them, it seems to me that OFLB can get rid of getID3() and replace it with a PHP wrapper around the "file" command, perhaps combined with TTX. _______________________________________________ Openfontlibrary mailing list Openfontlibrary@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openfontlibrary
