To do that I wrote a tiny C program (a simple throw-away utility using FreeType) to extract the PostScript font name from the .pfb files. To save time I used “file globbing” so that the utility’s command line could use wildcards – e,g.,[path]\\*.pfb<\/code> to list all Type 1 fonts in [path]. To use file globbing with Windows you need to link your code with an object file called setargv.obj<\/code><\/a> which takes care of the messy details and expands the wildcards on the command line. I use the now-ancient Visual Studio 2008 IDE (good enough for me!) and needed to add setargv.obj<\/code> as an additional project dependency under “Additional Dependencies” in the project settings for the linker. With that in place, the following ultra-simple program (no error checking!!) prints the font’s PostScript name and the full path name of the corresponding font file.<\/p>\n\r\n#include <stdio.h>\r\n#include <ft2build.h>\r\n#include FT_FREETYPE_H\r\n#include FT_GLYPH_H\r\n#include FT_OUTLINE_H\r\n\r\n\r\nint main(int argc, char ** argv)\r\n{\r\n\r\n\tFT_Library libfreetype;\r\n\tFT_Face ftface;\r\n\tint i;\r\n \r\n\tFT_Init_FreeType( &libfreetype );\r\n\r\n for (i=1; i<argc; i++){\r\n\r\n\t\tFT_New_Face( libfreetype, argv[i], 0, &ftface );\r\n\t\tprintf("%s %s\\n", FT_Get_Postscript_Name(ftface), argv[i]);\r\n\t\tFT_Done_Face(ftface);\r\n }\r\n\r\n\tFT_Done_FreeType(libfreetype);\r\n return 0;\r\n\t\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
