Subject: | [Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] #4876 The wrong font name is embedded by using some OTF / OTC fonts |
Date: | Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:50:26 +0000 |
If I understand correctly, for non-Japanese fonts in
NotoSansCJK.ttc, font name in 'name' table and 'CFF' table is
different. For Japanese fonts in it, they are consistent.i.e.
font-index 12:
'name' table: NotoSansCJKjp-Regular (Japanese)
'CFF ' table: NotoSansCJKjp-Regular (Japanese)
font-index 13:
'name' table: NotoSansCJKkr-Regular (Korean)
'CFF ' table: NotoSansCJKjp-Regular (Japanese)
font-index 14:
'name' table: NotoSansCJKsc-Regular (Simplified Chinese)
'CFF ' table: NotoSansCJKjp-Regular (Japanese)
font-index 15:
'name' table: NotoSansCJKtc-Regular (Traditional Chinese)
'CFF ' table: NotoSansCJKjp-Regular (Japanese)
Yes, the CFF font used for the TTC is identical for all embedded subfonts, AFAICS. Note that the CFF font name is not relevant for a TTC; only the data in the subfont's name
table gets used.
With FreeType 2.5.5, LilyPond uses Japanese font name that is in
'CFF' table. [...] On the other hand, with FreeType 2.6.3, if you
use non-Japanese font, LilyPond uses non-Japanese font name that is
in 'name' table.
The latter is the correct behaviour from FreeType's point of view.
- Use 'CFF' table's name even if it is the wrong name. This
behavior is similar to "with FreeType 2.5.5". The name may be
wrong.
Yes, this is the way to go IMHO. The following is probably necessary.
Trace the cff
table's offset of a given font file.
Trace the font name contained in the cff
table. If we have a new cff
font with the same font name, check whether it comes from the same font file and has the same offset. Otherwise emit a warning.
- Use 'name' table's name and rewrite 'CFF' table's name for
embedding. This behavior can embed correct font name.I think that rewriting 'CFF' table is a little difficult.
I agree.

If I understand correctly, this caused by FreeType 2.5.5 or earlier.
For example, if you use a non-Japanese (e.g. Chinese or Korean) font in NotoSansCJK.ttc ver. 1.004, FreeType 2.5.5 gets a Japanese postscript name.
Therefore, LilyPond might embed the fonts with wrong postscript name if you use FreeType 2.5.5 or earlier.
Even if the name is wrong, the glyphs are correct.
FreeType 2.6+ is fixed it.
For LilyPond official site's binaries:
Current GUB uses FreeType 2.4.12.
So I'm making the GUB's patch which update FreeType.
For others:
Bump up required or recommended version of FreeType?
