Hi all, Does someone have a few minutes to answer a couple of specific questions about glyph names?
- Is the name returned from FT_Get_GlyphName() suitable for use in a PostScript file (ie: glyphshow)? Including for Unicode glyphs (eg: CJK)? - What's the difference between FT_HAS_GLYPH_NAMES and FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names()? The docs suggest there may be a difference (re: TTF), but its unclear which one is 'better'. (eg: I have a font that seems to return true for FT_HAS_GLYPH_NAMES, and false for FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names). - If I'm using FT_Get_GlyphName() to write out a PS file, should I be using FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names() instead of FT_HAS_GLYPH_NAMES? ie: Is the difference rooted in what you're using it for, or is the difference rooted in the contents of the actual font? - What's the difference between ".null" and ".notdef"? Our code is currently checking for ".notdef", but I seem to be getting mostly ".null" for the glyphs, and I don't want to just naively change the code... [ Basically, if there's no matching glyph name, the code falls back to rendering the glyph as an outline, so that it visually looks correct in the generated PS file ] - [Somewhat offtopic] Since apparently it's possible for a TTF to not have glyph names, how can I (and my users) tell whether a given TTF has names or not? Something in FontForge maybe? ftinfo? Some other tool? Many thanks for any info!
