Opentype.Fileformat.Unicode

Utilities for making it easier to create Tables from Unicode data.

Unicode tables

type UnicodeGlyphMap = HashMap String (Glyph String)

A map from glyphnames to glyphs. Unicode points are derived using nameToCodepoint. Names without matching codepoint can only be used in composite glyphs. If the glyphName has no matching key in the map, it will be substituted by the empty glyph

type UnicodeKernPairs = [(String, String, FWord)]

makeUnicodeTables :: UnicodeGlyphMap -> UnicodeKernPairs -> PostTable -> (CmapTable, GlyfTable, PostTable, KernTable)

Given a UnicodeGlyphMap, create a CmapTable, GlyfTable and KernTable and update the PostTable.

makeUnicodeFont :: UnicodeGlyphMap -> UnicodeKernPairs -> FontInfo -> OpentypeFont

Create an opentype font from a UnicodeGlyphMap and FontInfo structure.

Postscript Names

type CodePoint = Int

codepointName :: CodePoint -> String

Standard name for this codepoint. Will be a descriptive name if one is available, otherwise unihex-codepoint.

hasDescriptiveName :: CodePoint -> Bool

nameToCodepoint :: String -> Maybe CodePoint

postscriptIndex :: String -> Maybe Int

index of the string in the list of standard postscript names, if any.

postscriptName :: Int -> Maybe String

standard postscript name at index, if any.

postscriptNames :: Vector String

vector of standard postscript names.
