Hello Leonard,
Hi David! It's good to be back to work on/with FT on a regular basis!
The best thing for now is the function named FT_Get_X11_Font_Format, defined
in FT_XFREE86_H, aka <freetype/ftxf86.h>.
This function is definitely what I am looking for (and was
thinking I had to write myself).
We could make it official I think, if we list the correct values, i.e.
add something like that to the header file:
I think that exposing this as a public API call, with known
return values, would be a worthwhile addition. I'm happy to make
the changes (though I need to figure out if I still know my CVS
password ;).
for now, the values are embedded in each font driver that implements
the service.
Would it be better to put the info into the FT_FACE itself
during loading? It would change the public data structure, though...
Note that this API doesn't deal with the differentiation between
OpenType/TrueType and OpenType/CFF fonts.
For my needs, I need to know this differentiation - so yes,
it would have to handle this as well. Which again, might be better
done at load time and filling in the FT_Face...
LDR
