FT_SfntName

Defined in FT_SFNT_NAMES_H (freetype/ftsnames.h).

  typedef struct  FT_SfntName_
  {
    FT_UShort  platform_id;
    FT_UShort  encoding_id;
    FT_UShort  language_id;
    FT_UShort  name_id;

    FT_Byte*   string;      /* this string is *not* null-terminated! */
    FT_UInt    string_len;  /* in bytes */

  } FT_SfntName;

A structure used to model an SFNT ‘name’ table entry.

fields

platform_id	The platform ID for ‘string’.
encoding_id	The encoding ID for ‘string’.
language_id	The language ID for ‘string’.
name_id	An identifier for ‘string’.
string	The ‘name’ string. Note that its format differs depending on the (platform,encoding) pair. It can be a Pascal String, a UTF-16 one, etc. Generally speaking, the string is not zero-terminated. Please refer to the TrueType specification for details.
string_len	The length of ‘string’ in bytes.

note

Possible values for ‘platform_id’, ‘encoding_id’, ‘language_id’, and ‘name_id’ are given in the file ‘ttnameid.h’. For details please refer to the TrueType or OpenType specification.

See also TT_PLATFORM_XXX, TT_APPLE_ID_XXX, TT_MAC_ID_XXX, TT_ISO_ID_XXX, and TT_MS_ID_XXX.

FT_Get_Sfnt_Name_Count

Defined in FT_SFNT_NAMES_H (freetype/ftsnames.h).

  FT_EXPORT( FT_UInt )
  FT_Get_Sfnt_Name_Count( FT_Face  face );

Retrieve the number of name strings in the SFNT ‘name’ table.

input

face	A handle to the source face.

return

The number of strings in the ‘name’ table.

FT_Get_Sfnt_Name

Defined in FT_SFNT_NAMES_H (freetype/ftsnames.h).

  FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
  FT_Get_Sfnt_Name( FT_Face       face,
                    FT_UInt       idx,
                    FT_SfntName  *aname );

Retrieve a string of the SFNT ‘name’ table for a given index.

input

face	A handle to the source face.
idx	The index of the ‘name’ string.

output

aname

The indexed FT_SfntName structure.

return

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

note

The ‘string’ array returned in the ‘aname’ structure is not null-terminated. The application should deallocate it if it is no longer in use.

Use FT_Get_Sfnt_Name_Count to get the total number of available ‘name’ table entries, then do a loop until you get the right platform, encoding, and name ID.

FT_PARAM_TAG_IGNORE_PREFERRED_FAMILY

Defined in FT_SFNT_NAMES_H (freetype/ftsnames.h).

#define FT_PARAM_TAG_IGNORE_PREFERRED_FAMILY  FT_MAKE_TAG( 'i', 'g', 'p', 'f' )

A constant used as the tag of FT_Parameter structures to make FT_Open_Face() ignore preferred family subfamily names in ‘name’ table since OpenType version 1.4. For backwards compatibility with legacy systems that have a 4-face-per-family restriction.
