SYNOPSIS
use Font::TTF::PSNames qw(parse lookup);
$name = lookup($uni);
$uni = parse($name);
METHODS
lookup ( $usv [, $noAlt [, $noUni] ])
return the Adobe-recommended glyph name for a specific Unicode code‐
point (integer). By default returns "uniXXXX" names rather than "afi‐
iNNNNN" or "SFnnnnnn" names
If $noAlt is true, "afii" and "SF" names are returned rather than
"uniXXXX".
if $noUni is true, returns undef if it would have to resort to
"uniXXXX" or "uXXXXXX" style names. Essentially this represents a
straight lookup in the Adobe-recommended list.
parse ( $glyphname )
Parse an Adobe-conformant glyph name, generating a Unicode codepoint
sequence equivalent to the glyph (or glyph components, should the name
represent a ligature). In scalar context, returns a reference to an
array of Unicodes (decimal). Array is empty if the glyph name is
non-conformant. In list context, the first item returned is the same
array reference as above. The second item is a reference to an array
containing the extensions (if any) present on the glyph name. The '.'
that precedes each extension is not included.
