Method Image.TTF.Face()->_names()

Description

Gives back the names or the complete name-list of this face.

The result from names () is a mapping, which has any or all of these indices:

"copyright":   ("Copyright the Foo Corporation...bla bla")
"family":      ("My Little Font")
"style":       ("Bold")
"full":        ("Foo: My Little Font: 1998")

"version":     ("June 1, 1998; 1.00, ...")

This is extracted from the information from _names(), and fit into pike-strings using unicode or iso-8859-1, if possible.

The result from _names () is a matrix, on this form:

     ({ ({ int platform, encoding, language, id, string name }),
        ({ int platform, encoding, language, id, string name }),
        ...
     })

Returns

the name as a mapping to string or the names as a matrix
