printable characters from fTypeFace

[ajayakumar]

In recent release APP has that feature fTypeface.hasCharacter() method to find that typeface has character or not.

Is it possible to include printable character list in fTypeface.attribute (like fTypeface.printableCharacters) so that the attribute will contains the array of Hexadecimal values for printable character list?

Thanks!

Hello!

Can you please help me understand this requirement further by giving me a description of how you would use an array of printable characters for any given typeface? Is there something specific you wish to achieve?

Thanks

Simon

Hello Simon,

1. We are trying to display the available 'characters' from fonts by batch mode for QC purposes.

In this case we are running a loop for every font and every character (0000-FFFF, totally 65535 characters) to confirm that font has character or not.

2. We are trying to display the available 'characters' from fonts as 'glyph dialog' and 'hide' if characters not available in that font (like MS word symbols and click to insert into stream)

In this case also we are running a loop very often whenever font selected (it's bit slow)

So only I had a thought if fFontFace already has that information then it's helpful.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Kumar
