Re: Font::TTF Give Me the Font Name

I can't help you specifically, but

There's a specific module in Font::TTF just for finding font names, Font::TTF::Name, which might make things less complex for this task
It has a method described thus:
find_name($nid)
Hunts down a name in all the standard places and returns the string
which suggests to me that there's more than one place the name might be, which would explain some weirdness.

($_='jjjuuusssttt annootthheer
     pppeeerrrlll haaaccckkeer')=~y/a-z//s;print;

I did see Font::TTF::Name, what the heck does `$nid` refer to? I'm thinking name id, but the readme file is a bit vague on the subject. -- paul	[reply] [d/l]

This data structure: `$f->{'name'}{'strings'}[$number][$platform_id][$encoding_id]{$language +_id}` [download] plus the fact that he mentions the "pid", "eid" and the "lid", makes me think that the "nid" is the $number part -- I'm only guessing though. -- `($_='jjjuuusssttt annootthheer pppeeerrrlll haaaccckkeer')=~y/a-z//s;print;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
