    void*      long_metrics;
    void*      short_metrics;

  } TT_HoriHeader;

A structure used to model a TrueType horizontal header, the ‘hhea’ table, as well as the corresponding horizontal metrics table, i.e., the ‘hmtx’ table.

fields

Version	The table version.
Ascender	The font's ascender, i.e., the distance from the baseline to the top-most of all glyph points found in the font. This value is invalid in many fonts, as it is usually set by the font designer, and often reflects only a portion of the glyphs found in the font (maybe ASCII). You should use the ‘sTypoAscender’ field of the OS/2 table instead if you want the correct one.
Descender	The font's descender, i.e., the distance from the baseline to the bottom-most of all glyph points found in the font. It is negative. This value is invalid in many fonts, as it is usually set by the font designer, and often reflects only a portion of the glyphs found in the font (maybe ASCII). You should use the ‘sTypoDescender’ field of the OS/2 table instead if you want the correct one.
Line_Gap	The font's line gap, i.e., the distance to add to the ascender and descender to get the BTB, i.e., the baseline-to-baseline distance for the font.
advance_Width_Max	This field is the maximum of all advance widths found in the font. It can be used to compute the maximum width of an arbitrary string of text.
min_Left_Side_Bearing	The minimum left side bearing of all glyphs within the font.
min_Right_Side_Bearing	The minimum right side bearing of all glyphs within the font.
xMax_Extent	The maximum horizontal extent (i.e., the ‘width’ of a glyph's bounding box) for all glyphs in the font.
caret_Slope_Rise	The rise coefficient of the cursor's slope of the cursor (slope=rise/run).
caret_Slope_Run	The run coefficient of the cursor's slope.
Reserved	8 reserved bytes.
metric_Data_Format	Always 0.
number_Of_HMetrics	Number of HMetrics entries in the ‘hmtx’ table -- this value can be smaller than the total number of glyphs in the font.
long_metrics	A pointer into the ‘hmtx’ table.
short_metrics	A pointer into the ‘hmtx’ table.

note

IMPORTANT: The TT_HoriHeader and TT_VertHeader structures should be identical except for the names of their fields, which are different.

This ensures that a single function in the ‘ttload’ module is able to read both the horizontal and vertical headers.

    void*      long_metrics;
    void*      short_metrics;

  } TT_VertHeader;

A structure used to model a TrueType vertical header, the ‘vhea’ table, as well as the corresponding vertical metrics table, i.e., the ‘vmtx’ table.

fields

Version	The table version.
Ascender	The font's ascender, i.e., the distance from the baseline to the top-most of all glyph points found in the font. This value is invalid in many fonts, as it is usually set by the font designer, and often reflects only a portion of the glyphs found in the font (maybe ASCII). You should use the ‘sTypoAscender’ field of the OS/2 table instead if you want the correct one.
Descender	The font's descender, i.e., the distance from the baseline to the bottom-most of all glyph points found in the font. It is negative. This value is invalid in many fonts, as it is usually set by the font designer, and often reflects only a portion of the glyphs found in the font (maybe ASCII). You should use the ‘sTypoDescender’ field of the OS/2 table instead if you want the correct one.
Line_Gap	The font's line gap, i.e., the distance to add to the ascender and descender to get the BTB, i.e., the baseline-to-baseline distance for the font.
advance_Height_Max	This field is the maximum of all advance heights found in the font. It can be used to compute the maximum height of an arbitrary string of text.
min_Top_Side_Bearing	The minimum top side bearing of all glyphs within the font.
min_Bottom_Side_Bearing	The minimum bottom side bearing of all glyphs within the font.
yMax_Extent	The maximum vertical extent (i.e., the ‘height’ of a glyph's bounding box) for all glyphs in the font.
caret_Slope_Rise	The rise coefficient of the cursor's slope of the cursor (slope=rise/run).
caret_Slope_Run	The run coefficient of the cursor's slope.
caret_Offset	The cursor's offset for slanted fonts. This value is ‘reserved’ in vmtx version 1.0.
Reserved	8 reserved bytes.
metric_Data_Format	Always 0.
number_Of_HMetrics	Number of VMetrics entries in the ‘vmtx’ table -- this value can be smaller than the total number of glyphs in the font.
long_metrics	A pointer into the ‘vmtx’ table.
short_metrics	A pointer into the ‘vmtx’ table.

note

IMPORTANT: The TT_HoriHeader and TT_VertHeader structures should be identical except for the names of their fields, which are different.

This ensures that a single function in the ‘ttload’ module is able to read both the horizontal and vertical headers.

FT_Get_Sfnt_Table

Defined in FT_TRUETYPE_TABLES_H (freetype/tttables.h).

  FT_EXPORT( void* )
  FT_Get_Sfnt_Table( FT_Face      face,
                     FT_Sfnt_Tag  tag );

Return a pointer to a given SFNT table within a face.

input

face	A handle to the source.
tag	The index of the SFNT table.

return

A type-less pointer to the table. This will be 0 in case of error, or if the corresponding table was not found OR loaded from the file.

Use a typecast according to ‘tag’ to access the structure elements.

note

The table is owned by the face object and disappears with it.

This function is only useful to access SFNT tables that are loaded by the sfnt, truetype, and opentype drivers. See FT_Sfnt_Tag for a list.

Here an example how to access the ‘vhea’ table:

  TT_VertHeader*  vert_header;                                     
                                                                   
                                                                   
  vert_header =                                                    
    (TT_VertHeader*)FT_Get_Sfnt_Table( face, FT_SFNT_VHEA );

FT_Load_Sfnt_Table

Defined in FT_TRUETYPE_TABLES_H (freetype/tttables.h).

  FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
  FT_Load_Sfnt_Table( FT_Face    face,
                      FT_ULong   tag,
                      FT_Long    offset,
                      FT_Byte*   buffer,
                      FT_ULong*  length );

Load any font table into client memory.

input

face	A handle to the source face.
tag	The four-byte tag of the table to load. Use the value 0 if you want to access the whole font file. Otherwise, you can use one of the definitions found in the FT_TRUETYPE_TAGS_H file, or forge a new one with FT_MAKE_TAG.
offset	The starting offset in the table (or file if tag == 0).

output

buffer

The target buffer address. The client must ensure that the memory array is big enough to hold the data.

inout

length

If the ‘length’ parameter is NULL, then try to load the whole table. Return an error code if it fails.

Else, if ‘*length’ is 0, exit immediately while returning the table's (or file) full size in it.

Else the number of bytes to read from the table or file, from the starting offset.

return

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

note

If you need to determine the table's length you should first call this function with ‘*length’ set to 0, as in the following example:

  FT_ULong  length = 0;


  error = FT_Load_Sfnt_Table( face, tag, 0, NULL, &length );
  if ( error ) { ... table does not exist ... }

  buffer = malloc( length );
  if ( buffer == NULL ) { ... not enough memory ... }

  error = FT_Load_Sfnt_Table( face, tag, 0, buffer, &length );
  if ( error ) { ... could not load table ... }

Note that structures like TT_Header or TT_OS2 can't be used with this function; they are limited to FT_Get_Sfnt_Table. Reason is that those structures depend on the processor architecture, with varying size (e.g. 32bit vs. 64bit) or order (big endian vs. little endian).

FT_Sfnt_Table_Info

Defined in FT_TRUETYPE_TABLES_H (freetype/tttables.h).

                      FT_ULong  *tag,
                      FT_ULong  *length );

Return information on an SFNT table.

input

face	A handle to the source face.
table_index	The index of an SFNT table. The function returns FT_Err_Table_Missing for an invalid value.

inout

tag	The name tag of the SFNT table. If the value is NULL, ‘table_index’ is ignored, and ‘length’ returns the number of SFNT tables in the font.

output

length

The length of the SFNT table (or the number of SFNT tables, depending on ‘tag’).

return

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

note

While parsing fonts, FreeType handles SFNT tables with length zero as missing.

A list of valid values for the ‘platform_id’ identifier code in FT_CharMapRec and FT_SfntName structures.

values

TT_PLATFORM_APPLE_UNICODE	Used by Apple to indicate a Unicode character map and/or name entry. See TT_APPLE_ID_XXX for corresponding ‘encoding_id’ values. Note that name entries in this format are coded as big-endian UCS-2 character codes only.
TT_PLATFORM_MACINTOSH	Used by Apple to indicate a MacOS-specific charmap and/or name entry. See TT_MAC_ID_XXX for corresponding ‘encoding_id’ values. Note that most TrueType fonts contain an Apple roman charmap to be usable on MacOS systems (even if they contain a Microsoft charmap as well).
TT_PLATFORM_ISO	This value was used to specify ISO/IEC 10646 charmaps. It is however now deprecated. See TT_ISO_ID_XXX for a list of corresponding ‘encoding_id’ values.
TT_PLATFORM_MICROSOFT	Used by Microsoft to indicate Windows-specific charmaps. See TT_MS_ID_XXX for a list of corresponding ‘encoding_id’ values. Note that most fonts contain a Unicode charmap using (TT_PLATFORM_MICROSOFT, TT_MS_ID_UNICODE_CS).
TT_PLATFORM_CUSTOM	Used to indicate application-specific charmaps.
TT_PLATFORM_ADOBE	This value isn't part of any font format specification, but is used by FreeType to report Adobe-specific charmaps in an FT_CharMapRec structure. See TT_ADOBE_ID_XXX.
