i'm either using the wrong package or i'm just too tired to figure it out.

I'm basically cataloging all of my fonts on my windows box, I have over 100, so I want to do it efficiently. I can't figure out how to get the font's name out of the font file. Below is the basic code and output, which gives me practically every piece of info, except for the most basic, the font's name.

SCRIPT

#!perl.exe -w

use strict;
use Font::TTF::Font;
use CGI qw(:all);
use Data::Dumper;

print header();
my $infont = "c:/windows/fonts/D24000D5.TTF";
my $f = Font::TTF::Font->open($infont) || die "could not open font:<BR
+>$!";
print "<pre>".Dumper($f)."</pre>";
$f->release;
exit;
