Hi, I've added a major vendor name (in Japan possibly), Motoya - http://www.motoyafont.jp/ in src/fcfreetype.c, modified source code warning-clean. Although, I don't know how to work this vendor string in the mechanism. ...Now, the true story starts from here. I've been having trouble on font recognition/selection mechanism, just after reading Keith's interesting post has subject 'Localizing font family and style names', I'd report it can be the matter that displaying local family name encoded local charset, in a little different aspect though. If it was a known problem, sorry in advance. In this case, I'd target local family name in the .ttc font. Ok, I've got the fonts of Windows version, there are three different weighted fonts ntk2kp.ttc, ntk3kp.ttc, ntk4kp.ttc, have three style variants W#, W# KP, W# mono in each itself, the crucial point is, those fonts have just only *one* font family name in English-wise. Further, those fonts have local family name (Japanese) in 1st, 2nd name field, but name of 1st field never read in my environment due to codeset, seems ShiftJIS while EUC-JP of mine. 2nd has UTF-8 encoded, can be displayed properly. Thus, fc-list says (sorry long & hard to read lines) NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(can't read!)2,*NTMotoyaKyokasho2:style=W2,Regular NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(ditto)2KP,*NTMotoyaKyokasho2KP:style=W2 KP,Regular NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(ditto)2(ditto),*NTMotoyaKyokasho2Touhaba:style=W2 mono,Regular NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(ditto)3,*NTMotoyaKyokasho3:style=W3,Regular NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(ditto)3KP,*NTMotoyaKyokasho3KP:style=W3 KP,Regular NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(ditto)3(ditto),*NTMotoyaKyokasho3Touhaba:style=W3 mono,Regular NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(ditto)4,*NTMotoyaKyokasho4:style=W4,Regular NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(ditto)4KP,*NTMotoyaKyokasho4KP:style=W4 KP,Regular NtMotoyaKyotai,NT(ditto)4(ditto),*NTMotoyaKyokasho4Touhaba:style=W4 mono,Regular * actually Japanese without NT, #(KP) On the font selection, I can select family 'NtMotoyaKyotai' certainly, also style 'W2, W2 KP, W2 mono...' *appear* in random order. However a style never affect! There must be selected one of those (of total 9 variants). I called font vendor, an company employee says 'That's because certain application'd select font family at first, then user select one of font families with style, at that time you can see localized name. I'm afraid there is no specification concerned with naming rule, we'll just follow major application's usage custom. We can change inner English family name itself for you, however it costs. Anyway, it's ok changing font recognition method on your side.' ...long post, thank you for your reading! well, is there any person having similar trouble? Is that commonly on non-Latin fonts (including CJKVT)? I'll welcome your comment, any workaround wlii be appreciated. PS. Those fonts need registration, I can't give you an actual copy. If you want to try that, please email me, I'll explain how to register. Regards, -- Daichi -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
