This information is stored in the OS/2 table of the TrueType font. Is there any way, through X, to get access to this information? For our Windows product, I simply call GetFontData to return me the OS/2 table, which I can then parse to get the required information. It looks like the min_char_or_byte2 and max_char_or_byte2 fields tell me the first and last character of a range, but what if I have, for example, an Arabic font which has many characters in a "lower" range (0x0600-0x06FF) and several in a much "higher" range (the Arabic Presentation Forms, 0xFB50-0xFDFF); this font doesn't, of course, have all the characters between 0x0600 and 0xFDFF, so the min and max fields won't help.</TT> Thanks for any tips. In lieu of help from X, if such help doesn't exist, can anybody suggest ideas for gaining access to the physical font that X is using so that I can parse the font myself? That is, if I have an XLFD returned from XListFonts, is there a call I can make to tell me exactly where the font described by the XLFD exists on the system?
