RE: Could I prepare font metrics file for a font like Webdings (i.e. without Unicode cmap table inside)?
When I run TTFReader (from 0.92 beta) over Webdings.ttf - I get this output: Parsing font... Reading c:\windows\fonts\webdings.ttf... Number of glyphs in font: 227 2 cmap tables Unicode cmap table not present Unsupported format: Aborting Question - is it possible then to prepare metrics file for this font as well in the same way as for let say Arial? You can try to use the -enc ansi switch and see if it helps. Same result :( Any other thoughts? Andrejus

Webdings.ttf defines a Symbol encoding (platform 3, encoding 0). Our current code doesn't support that. Patches welcome. OpenType spec: http://www.microsoft.com/OpenType/OTSpec/ The only other options that come to mind are: - Convert webdings.tff to a Type 1 font somehow. - Create SVG images from the glyphs you need.
