freetypy.TT_PLATFORM¶

class freetypy.TT_PLATFORM¶

A set of platform identifier codes.

APPLE_UNICODE: Used by Apple to indicate a Unicode character map and/or name entry. See TT_APPLE_ID for corresponding ‘encoding_id’ values. Note that name entries in this format are coded as big-endian UCS-2 character codes only.
MACINTOSH: Used by Apple to indicate a MacOS-specific charmap and/or name entry. See TT_MAC_ID for corresponding ‘encoding_id’ values. Note that most TrueType fonts contain an Apple roman charmap to be usable on MacOS systems (even if they contain a Microsoft charmap as well).
ISO: This value was used to specify ISO/IEC 10646 charmaps. It is however now deprecated. See TT_ISO_ID for a list of corresponding ‘encoding_id’ values.
MICROSOFT: Used by Microsoft to indicate Windows-specific charmaps. See TT_MS_ID for a list of corresponding ‘encoding_id’ values. Note that most fonts contain a Unicode charmap using (TT_PLATFORM.MICROSOFT, TT_MS_ID.UNICODE_CS).
CUSTOM: Used to indicate application-specific charmaps.
ADOBE: This value isn’t part of any font format specification, but is used by FreeType to report Adobe-specific charmaps in an CharMap object. See TT_ADOBE_ID.
