encodings: Support for OpenType-specific encodings
|
|
##################################################

|
fontTools includes support for some character encodings found in legacy Mac
|
|
TrueType fonts. Many of these legacy encodings have found their way into the
|
|
standard Python ``encodings`` library, but others still remain unimplemented.
|
|
Importing ``fontTools.encodings.codecs`` will therefore add string ``encode``
|
|
and ``decode`` support for the following encodings:
|
|
|
|
* ``x_mac_japanese_ttx``
|
|
* ``x_mac_trad_chinese_ttx``
|
|
* ``x_mac_korean_ttx``
|
|
* ``x_mac_simp_chinese_ttx``
|
|
|
|
fontTools also includes a package (``fontTools.encodings.MacRoman``) which
|
|
contains a mapping of glyph IDs to glyph names in the MacRoman character set::
|
|
|
|
>>> from fontTools.encodings.MacRoman import MacRoman
|
|
>>> MacRoman[26]
