any ttf/otf headers reader?

[Dan]

Hi guys, does anybody know if there is some sort of C# (or other-language I
could translate into C#) library for reading the 'header' information of
truetype/opentype font files, such as font name, copyright, version,
charcodes defined, codepages, and so forth...? I do not need reading glyph
countours or hinting, but only such generic information about a font file.

Thanx in advance!

Hi Dan,

It seemed that there are few .net samples of it.
The link below is a MFC sample about how to get filename from a TTF
file, I think you can get some information from it.
Maybe it needs interop in .net to do it.

Hope this helps.
Best regards,

How urgently do you need this? The specifications are available (search
on www.wotsit.org) and I'd be interested enough to have a look at this
in spare time, but you probably wouldn't get any results before the end
of the week. Is that soon enough?
