Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for such a detailed reply.
I have tried out one of your methods ( to be specific , it is choice (b) ).
Again I have tried it for the Korean language.
The result is still the same . I still get the names of fonts in English.
For example lets consider "Apple Gothic". The conversion here returns the
English name.
Another observation is that for some of the fonts, it returns an error
stating that the output buffer is full. Though the length is considerably
smaller than 2048 ( that I have allocated by default) , I still get the
error.
Any input on these issues?
The following code details my implementation of the solution.
// Get the count of names.
ATSUCountFontNames(fontID,&the_FontNameCount);
//! iterate till you fetch the right name.
for ( k=0;k<the_FontNameCount;k++)
{
err=ATSUGetIndFontName(fontID,k,1024,fontName,&len,&(fontNameCode),&(fontNam
ePlatform),&(fontNameScript),&(fontNameLanguage));
if(err==0 && fontNameLanguage ==kFontKoreanLanguage &&
fontNameCode==kFontFamilyName)
{
//! Convert text to Unicode
TextToUnicodeInfo unicodeInfo;
UnicodeMapping unicodemap;
TextEncoding teforUnicode;
OSStatus ugerr=0,uinfoerr=0,converr=0;
ByteCount bufferCount=2048,oeuLength=0,oeuRead=0;
UniChar unicodeString[2048]={0,};
CFStringRef localizedName;
//! 1. create text encoding to convert text
ugerr=UpgradeScriptInfoToTextEncoding(fontNameScript,fontNameLanguage,kTextR
egionDontCare,NULL,&teforUnicode);
//! Create mapping
unicodemap.unicodeEncoding=CreateTextEncoding(kTextEncodingUnicodeV3_0,kText
EncodingDefaultVariant,kUnicode16BitFormat);
unicodemap.otherEncoding=GetTextEncodingBase(teforUnicode);
unicodemap.mappingVersion=kUnicodeUseLatestMapping;
//! use mapping to create info
uinfoerr=CreateTextToUnicodeInfo(&unicodemap,&unicodeInfo);
//! convert text
converr=ConvertFromTextToUnicode(unicodeInfo,len,fontName,0,0,NULL,NULL,NULL
,&bufferCount,&oeuRead,&oeuLength,unicodeString);
if(converr==0)
{
localizedName
=CFStringCreateWithCharacters(NULL,unicodeString,
oeuLength/sizeof(UniChar));
break;
}
}
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul.
