A quick search didn't get me anywhere. There isn't one, given that fc does not cache the PS fontname. That said, apps which know a PS FontName and want to use fc to try and find that font on the filesystem will likely split on the last '-', use everything before that hyphen as a name and attempt to parse what comes after into width/weight/slant. Doing that in reverse will work for many fonts, but not for all. Several fonts use abbreviations w/in the ps name because of the 31 character maximum length. To do it from a shell script, as things stand, I would use fc-match to get the filename and pass that to otfinfo -p (from lcdf typetools) to recover the psname. Or, if the file is a type1 I'd pass it to t1ascii and parse the result for /FontName. Only if fc were to cache the /FontName from type1 dicts and the TT_NAME_ID_PS_NAME from SFNTs could apps search for that and get back a full pattern. Whether splitting off width/weight/slant still should be required is an interesting question. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
