Re: [ft] Telling if a font has TrueType outlines

I wish to embed the font in a PDF file as a "TrueType" or a "CIDFontType2"
(also TrueType), which requires it to be a TrueType font with TrueType
outlines.

As far as I know, this rules out PostScript fonts with TrueType outlines
and also TrueType fonts with PostScript outlines (OTF fonts).

Perhaps I need to check the font driver to ensure that it is "truetype"
and *also* check that the glyf table exists. That would seem to guarantee
that the font is really a TrueType font with TrueType outlines.

Best regards,

Michael
