      typedef struct CID_FaceInfoRec_*  CID_FaceInfo;

A handle to a CID_FaceInfoRec structure.

### FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names

Defined in FT_TYPE1_TABLES_H (freetype/t1tables.h).

      FT_EXPORT( FT_Int )
      FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names( FT_Face  face );

Return true if a given face provides reliable PostScript glyph names. This is similar to using the FT_HAS_GLYPH_NAMES macro, except that certain fonts (mostly TrueType) contain incorrect glyph name tables.

When this function returns true, the caller is sure that the glyph names returned by FT_Get_Glyph_Name are reliable.

#### input

face | face handle

#### return

Boolean. True if glyph names are reliable.

### FT_Get_PS_Font_Info

Defined in FT_TYPE1_TABLES_H (freetype/t1tables.h).

      FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
      FT_Get_PS_Font_Info( FT_Face      face,
                           PS_FontInfo  afont_info );

Retrieve the PS_FontInfoRec structure corresponding to a given PostScript font.

#### input

face | PostScript face handle.

#### output

afont_info | Output font info structure pointer.

#### return

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

#### note

String pointers within the PS_FontInfoRec structure are owned by the face and don't need to be freed by the caller. Missing entries in the font's FontInfo dictionary are represented by NULL pointers.

If the font's format is not PostScript-based, this function will return the ‘FT_Err_Invalid_Argument’ error code.

### FT_Get_PS_Font_Private

Defined in FT_TYPE1_TABLES_H (freetype/t1tables.h).

      FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
      FT_Get_PS_Font_Private( FT_Face     face,
                              PS_Private  afont_private );

Retrieve the PS_PrivateRec structure corresponding to a given PostScript font.

#### input

face | PostScript face handle.

#### output

afont_private | Output private dictionary structure pointer.

#### return

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

#### note

The string pointers within the PS_PrivateRec structure are owned by the face and don't need to be freed by the caller.

If the font's format is not PostScript-based, this function returns the ‘FT_Err_Invalid_Argument’ error code.

### FT_Get_PS_Font_Value

Defined in FT_TYPE1_TABLES_H (freetype/t1tables.h).

      FT_EXPORT( FT_Long )
      FT_Get_PS_Font_Value( FT_Face       face,
                            PS_Dict_Keys  key,
                            FT_UInt       idx,
                            void         *value,
                            FT_Long       value_len );

Retrieve the value for the supplied key from a PostScript font.

#### input

face | PostScript face handle.
key | An enumeration value representing the dictionary key to retrieve.
idx | For array values, this specifies the index to be returned.
value | A pointer to memory into which to write the value.
valen_len | The size, in bytes, of the memory supplied for the value.

#### output

value | The value matching the above key, if it exists.

#### return

The amount of memory (in bytes) required to hold the requested value (if it exists, -1 otherwise).

#### note

The values returned are not pointers into the internal structures of the face, but are ‘fresh’ copies, so that the memory containing them belongs to the calling application. This also enforces the ‘read-only’ nature of these values, i.e., this function cannot be used to manipulate the face.

‘value’ is a void pointer because the values returned can be of various types.

If either ‘value’ is NULL or ‘value_len’ is too small, just the required memory size for the requested entry is returned.

The ‘idx’ parameter is used, not only to retrieve elements of, for example, the FontMatrix or FontBBox, but also to retrieve name keys from the CharStrings dictionary, and the charstrings themselves. It is ignored for atomic values.

PS_DICT_BLUE_SCALE returns a value that is scaled up by 1000. To get the value as in the font stream, you need to divide by 65536000.0 (to remove the FT_Fixed scale, and the x1000 scale).

IMPORTANT: Only key/value pairs read by the FreeType interpreter can be retrieved. So, for example, PostScript procedures such as NP, ND, and RD are not available. Arbitrary keys are, obviously, not be available either.

If the font's format is not PostScript-based, this function returns the ‘FT_Err_Invalid_Argument’ error code.
