Hi -
I need to cross-platform (MAC X / WIN) way to detect which fonts
styles may be available for a font-family. It appears as though RB's
Font function only lists out font families.
E.g. On a Mac I'll get 'Arial' but actually the following fonts are
available:
Arial
Arial-Bold
Arial-Italic
Arial-BoldItalic
They're all in the Arial 'suitcase', but they're seperate TrueType
outline fonts. I need to distinguish that because the output the
application produces requires outline fonts to be available.
At first I thought this might only be a Mac problem because of the
way that fonts can packed. But I encounter similar results on
Windows. A look at the Fonts folder on my Windows system reveals 4
files:
arial.ttf
arialbd.ttf
arialbi.ttf
ariali.ttf
But again RB only reports 'Arial'.
Can anyone throw me some pointers as to how to resolve that problem?
Thanks,
Juergen
