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

Method _names

mapping names()
array(array) _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")
"expose":      ("My Little Font Bold")
"version":     ("June 1, 1998; 1.00, ...")
"postscript":  ("MyLittleFont-Bold")
"trademark":   ("MyLittleFont is a registered...bla bla")

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
