freetypy.CharMap

class freetypy.CharMap

A mapping from code points to glyph identifiers. Some font formats may provide several CharMap instances per font.

Each face object owns zero or more charmaps, but only one of them can be ‘active’ and used by Face.get_char_index or Face.load_char.

The list of available charmaps in a face is available through Face.charmaps.

The currently active charmap is available as Face.charmap.

platform_id	An TT_PLATFORM id describing the platform for the following encoding ID.
