In general, FreeType is not the right tool for such operations. FreeType is a *rendering* library that provides a thin API for extracting SFNT tables, mainly the ones FreeType isn't parsing by itself. As Behdad mentioned, the `fonttools` package should help you with your task. > For example, a special tag TTAG_tdir > could be defined to access the raw Table Directory data with > FT_Load_Sfnt_Table, like the following: > > FT_ULong size = 0; > FT_Load_Sfnt_Table(face, TTAG_tdir, 0, NULL, &size); Please file a feature request at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/issues/ Werner
