I am really sorry. I thought, as Cambria is designed by Microsoft it
should definitely work in windows. But why the files packaged as .ttc is not loading?.

FreeType2 supports TTC format either.
Please execute ftdump to the font file and report the result. Regards, mpsuzuki On Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:48:53 +0530 Noorul Sahabudeen <noorulsahabudeen.cg@...> wrote: >I am really sorry.

Hi,
I am using Windows. Freetype2 is not loading few fonts like Windings, Webdings, Cambria and some .TTC files also. Can anyone check and give me some solution.

Thanks ,
Windings works fine with FT_ENCODING_MS_SYMBOL, but is there any simple way to set the default style that font supports and load the charmapa, Because i dont' know anything about these encoding styles ans stuffs. If it is not a great thing to find the charmap and set that , please post the solution Thanks in Advance, Noorul Dmitry Timoshkov wrote: > "Noorul Sahabudeen" <noorulsahabudeen.cg@...> wrote: > >> For few fonts like "Cambria" face is Null and for few fonts line >> webdings i am not getting any characters. > > You need to select an appropriate charmap: > > FT_Select_Charmap(face, FT_ENCODING_UNICODE); // or FT_ENCODING_MS_SYMBOL > _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@... http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel |

I thank Dmitry for guiding Noorul to right place, while
I was off line.

Before all, FreeType2 tries to provide Unicode character interface by default, for convenience of the programmers. "Unicode by default" is not perfect solution, but the most generic solution especially for TrueType. More generic-but- hardheaded solution would be "no cmap is loaded by default", but I don't think it's welcomed in today, except of die-hard programmers with Code Set Independent style. With keeping "Unicode by default" feature, the automatic determination of cmap is quite difficult, because most of non-Unicode cmap of TrueType is incompatible with Unicode (e.g. CJK encodings and Apple WorldScript encodings for Arabic/Hebrew/Indic etc). Some people may request the encoding convertor (something like iconv()) behind of FT2 API, but there's no compact, portable, generic library with appropriate license to be included in FT2. FT2 user should select the best encoding convertor fitting their own purpose. Even if a genius could write encoding convertor for FT2, the problem of MS Symbol cannot be solved. MS Symbol encoding is used for the glyph collection that cannot be coded by Unicode. They are per-font encoding and mutually incompatible in most case. For example, my Windows XP has following TrueType fonts with MS Symbol cmap: BSSYM7.TTF, REFSPCL.TTF, WINDNG2.TTF, WINDNG3.TTF, marlett.ttf, symbol.ttf, webdings.ttf, wingding.ttf. All of them have different glyph collection, and there is no interoperability. Nothing to say, some of (or all of) the glyphs in these fonts cannot be coded by Unicode. So, when we access the glyph via MS Symbol encoding, the integer used as character code cannot be mixed with Unicode anymore. Only FT2 API (with "Unicode by default" feature) can do is only behaving aslike if there is no Unicode character. Anyway, it could be worthful to mention about the encoding issue in FT2 tutorial, because current document has a sample code using "Unicode by default" feature and not generic for the fonts without Unicode cmap. >If it is not a great thing to find the charmap and set that , please >post the solution As I written in above, it would be great work.
