RE: [ft] loading CID fonts and CMAPS

[Ian Brown]

Yes, AFPDS actually but the same principle.
I have the code-point but I need to convert it to a CID before I can
pass it to freetype. That requires the cmap table to be parsed. Do you
know of any code that can read a cmap?

I suppose you're handling some PostScript or PDF data including
embedded CMap and CIDFont. If so, there might be better tools
based on FreeType and other free CMap parser.
