Window FNT Files
Synopsis
This section contains the declaration of Windows FNT-specific functions.
FT_WinFNT_ID_XXX
Defined in FT_WINFONTS_H (freetype/ftwinfnt.h).
A list of valid values for the charset
byte in FT_WinFNT_HeaderRec
. Exact mapping tables for the various ‘cpXXXX’ encodings (except for ‘cp1361’) can be found at ‘ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/’ in the MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS
subdirectory. ‘cp1361’ is roughly a superset of MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/KSC/JOHAB.TXT
.
values
FT_WinFNT_ID_DEFAULT |
This is used for font enumeration and font creation as a ‘don't care’ value. Valid font files don't contain this value. When querying for information about the character set of the font that is currently selected into a specified device context, this return value (of the related Windows API) simply denotes failure.
|
FT_WinFNT_ID_SYMBOL |
There is no known mapping table available.
|
FT_WinFNT_ID_MAC |
Mac Roman encoding.
|
FT_WinFNT_ID_OEM |
From Michael Poettgen <michael@poettgen.de>:
The ‘Windows Font Mapping’ article says that FT_WinFNT_ID_OEM is used for the charset of vector fonts, like modern.fon , roman.fon , and script.fon on Windows.
The ‘CreateFont’ documentation says: The FT_WinFNT_ID_OEM value specifies a character set that is operating-system dependent.
The ‘IFIMETRICS’ documentation from the ‘Windows Driver Development Kit’ says: This font supports an OEM-specific character set. The OEM character set is system dependent.
In general OEM, as opposed to ANSI (i.e., ‘cp1252’), denotes the second default codepage that most international versions of Windows have. It is one of the OEM codepages from
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/intl/code-page-identifiers ,
and is used for the ‘DOS boxes’, to support legacy applications. A German Windows version for example usually uses ANSI codepage 1252 and OEM codepage 850.
