| encodings: Support for OpenType-specific encodings |
| ################################################## |
| |
| fontTools includes support for some character encodings found in legacy Mac |
| TrueType fonts. Many of these legacy encodings have found their way into the |
| standard Python ``encodings`` library, but others still remain unimplemented. |
| Importing ``fontTools.encodings.codecs`` will therefore add string ``encode`` |
| and ``decode`` support for the following encodings: |
| |
| * ``x_mac_japanese_ttx`` |
| * ``x_mac_trad_chinese_ttx`` |
| * ``x_mac_korean_ttx`` |
| * ``x_mac_simp_chinese_ttx`` |
| |
| fontTools also includes a package (``fontTools.encodings.MacRoman``) which |
| contains a mapping of glyph IDs to glyph names in the MacRoman character set:: |
| |
| >>> from fontTools.encodings.MacRoman import MacRoman |
| >>> MacRoman[26] |
| 'twosuperior' |
