[Freetype] /Fullname in type 1 fonts

[Anthony Feick]

Our program uses the "FullName" of a font to match up fonts across platforms 
(ie across font managers).

Since freetype doesn't expose the FullName we've been using the FamilyName + 
Stylename.  This has worked until now:


/FullName (Helvetica 55 Roman) readonly def
/FamilyName (Helvetica Neue) readonly def
...
/FontName /HelveticaNeue-Roman def


and

/FullName (Helvetica 53 Extended) readonly def
/FamilyName (Helvetica Neue) readonly def
...
/FontName /HelveticaNeue-Extended def



Both of these fonts end up with the FamilyName + Stylename being
"Helvetica Neue Regular"

I suppose I can open up the file and look for the /FullName tag, but that 
seems ugly.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Is there an easy way to get to the 
T1_FontInfo object that has the real Fullname?


-Tony
