🎀 NAME 🎀

Font::TTF::OTTags — Utilities for TrueType/OpenType tags, bestie. It's literally the tag-y little helper module.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the vibe, code and all:

         use Font::TTF::OTTags qw( %tttags %ttnames %iso639 readtagsfile );

         # Look at built-in stuff:
         $script_tag = $tttags{'SCRIPT'}{'Cypriot Syllabary'};  # returns 'cprt'
         $lang_name = $ttnames{'LANGUAGE'}{'ALT '};             # returns 'Altai'

         # Map iso639-2 tag to/from OT lang tag
         @isotags = $iso639{'ALT '};    # returns [ 'atv', 'alt' ]
         $lang_tag = $iso639{'atv'};    # returns 'ALT '

         # Read latest tags file to add to built-in definitions
         readtagsfile ("C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft VOLT\\TAGS.txt");

First-level keys to %tttags and %ttnames are:

• SCRIPT — retrieve script tag or name
• LANGUAGE — retrieve language tag or name
• FEATURE — retrieve feature tag or name

Built-in data has been derived from the 2014-07-11 draft of the 3rd edition of ISO/IEC 14496-22 (Information technology - Coding of audio-visual objects - Part 22: Open Font Format) which, when finalized and approved, will replace the second edition (ISO/IEC 14496-22:2009). That's the whole lore drop, bestie. 💅

🛠️ METHODS 🛠️

🧚 readtagsfile ( filename ) 🧚

Read a file in the syntax of Tags.txt (included with Microsoft VOLT) to obtain additional/replacement tag definitions. It's giving "bring your own tag list" energy.

Returns 0 if cannot open the file; else 1.
