Greetings. FontConfig newbie here. What would be involved if I wanted to enumerate or search fonts by PostScript FontName (OT 'name' table ID 6)? Presumably I'd need to (for OpenType/TrueType fonts): a. enumerate all font file paths b. read in the sfnt/TTC myself to get to the name table c. then parse the name table to get to the PostScript FontName Questions: 1. Is there a more direct way to do any or all of these steps that I'm missing? I can't seem to find a PostScript FontName property at http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig-devel/x19.html#AEN27 and searching the mailing list archives didn't help. 2. Can FontConfig at least do step (b) for me, i.e. can I ask it to get me a particular table from the sfnt/TTC? Or is the idea that FontConfig can provide the full path to the font file, and from there on clients are on their own if they want to do interesting stuff with the font that FontConfig doesn't support? 3. For Type 1 fonts, I'd have to replace (b) and (c) above with simply parsing the font file directly, right? Thanks! I look forward to becoming more familiar with FontConfig.
