At 08:33p -0500 07/29/2004, Gary Mielke didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
When you do an info on a DFONT or OTF font, you can expand the General
arrow to see more information such as the Kind, Size, Where, Created,
Modified, Version, Full Name and Copyright. Does anybody know how to access
this information with an Applescript running under OSX?
The full name and copyright apparently come from the 'sfnt' resource.
You could read the TrueType documentation and figure out how to parse
the data structure to pull out the copyright info. (Be aware that it
could be in 2-byte Unicode; I don't know how that relates to any
length byte[s].) And you would need something like the Satimage osax
to read the resource.
Emmanuel, does your osax handle data-fork resources?
