Getting displayName out of font file


  • Subject: Getting displayName out of font file

I have a file “Some Font.ttf” and I want to know the displayName of this font, which might be “Some-Font” or “Nice Font” or anything else.
Or nil if this is not a well-formatted font file.
I do NOT want to install the font nor do anything with it.

Short of reverse-engeneering the ttf format (which probably would be rather too much): is there a way to get this?

Ideally I would line to do:
NSFont *font = [ NSFont fontFromFilePath: @“/path/to/Some Font.ttf” ];
NSString *displayName = font.displayName;	//	font.fontName would probably also do

but this seems not to exist.

Gerriet.
