Hello, Sorry to hijack the Harfbuzz list for this, I think this is more fontTools/TTX related, but I didn’t see an (active?) TTX list to post this to…
Basically I’d like to read the name table in a Python script. I thought this could be done rather easy with fontTools/TTX, but no idea really. Any pointers?? I came across this https://github.com/tchollingsworth/ttname which is basically what I need, however I don’t need write stuff and basically only need to read the name table. I started forking it, but then noticed it depends on some older fontTools version, looking at how it wants to use the XML reader (import fontTools.ttLib.xmlImport). So if this is a good start I would dive into that XML reading/parsing and perhaps update ttname if it’s worth it.. As I was looking for the Family Name in particular I’m now running a subprocess.Popen to “otfinfo --family" grabbing that information ;) It’s a bit dirty, but for prototyping it works.. Kind regards, Rolf _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
