Hi

I have to send the font related to a FONTOBJ to an other computer. So I have
to get the whole "font file" ... but, since it doesn't have to be a file
always (embedded fonts etc.), I don't want to use the functions that return
the filenames to find the data. So I'd like to build the file using
functions like FONTOBJ_pjOpenTypeTablePointer and
FONTOBJ_cGetAllGlyphHandles and FONTOBJ_cGetGlyphs ... I think this should
be possible (at least for truetype and opentype)... but my problem is, that
I don't understand how to handle those tables. What tables are required? How
is a opentype/truetype font structured? ... can someone explain me this? ...
and could this work, what I'd like to do?

thanks
MR

Hi,

1. FONTOBJ_pvTrueTypeFontFile()
2. Get OpenType document from MS website for the format of TrueType
fonts

Does this also return a valid value, if the font is not installed on the
system, but loaded dynamically? (embedded fonts) ? ... otherwhise this isn't
a solution for me

Hi,
Did you make any progress on this? I have recently taken up a task of
doing the same thing. From what I have always understood Acrobat should
be doing AddFontResource(...) GDI function. So it is like a normal font
installed
from that point itself. From what I believe, one can then use normal GDI
functions available on this font and get hold of the characteristics.

Thanks
