Re: [Devel] A question about how to get glyph index

[Tom Kacvinsky]

Already added to CVS.  There is now a FT_Get_Name_Index(FT_Face, FT_STring*)
function.  It returns a glyph index for a given glyph name.  It works for the
Type 1 and CFF drivers, so you can use it this for for reencoding Type 1/1C
fonts in PDF files.
