| Summary | 0000572: fontloader.info returns incorrect data. | ||||
| Description | local f = kpse.find_file("ChaparralPro-Semibold.otf", "opentype fonts") -- Returns (incorrectly) "Chaparral Pro SmBd" print(fontloader.info(f).familyname) -- Returns (correctly) "Chaparral Pro" print(fontloader.to_table(fontloader.open(f)).familyname) -- Returns (incorrectly) "ChaparralPro-Semibold" print(fontloader.info(f).fullname) -- Returns (correctly) "Chaparral Pro Semibold" print(fontloader.to_table(fontloader.open(f)).fullname) Apparently, only Adobe fonts are affected, and rather erratically (e.g. Chaparral's light version is wrong too, but not the bold version, whereas Caslon's bold is wrong), and only weights (not italics). | ||||

It turns out fonloader.info reads the font's "names" table (not the top level "familyname"), and that table is a mess in Adobe's fonts, so fontloader.info correctly returns incorrect data... |

|
Font names is the most buggy aspect of all fonts, there are tens of redundant fields and almost no one seems to get it right. |
