Hi Klaus, I remember dabbling with this a long time ago and I think it was kind of: - Find the offset for the name table in the file - Find the postscript name in that table. Was often (always?) saved under ID 6 (or was it 5?)
But this is just from the top of my head. I’m pretty sure I have some old somewhere but it’s traveling now, but can dig it out in a few days when I get back home if needed. :-Håkan Skickat från min iPhone > 25 juli 2025 kl. 11:53 skrev Klaus major-k via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > Hi Matthias, > >> Am 25.07.2025 um 11:39 schrieb Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode >> <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: >> >> There are tools available, which allow to view and change the properties of >> a font.
