Typeface glyphNumber and codePoint

[daniel]

I found the tool otfinfo from the package lcdf typetools, that can be used to lookup the codes from an otf file:

otfinfo -u Bravura/otf/Bravura.otf

So I know, that the cmap has exactly the information needed and that it is specific to the otf file.

That makes me think, that the Typeface class should have this method to do the lookup, I created a feature request for that:

Typeface: give access to cmap table

The otf font file has a table to lookup the glyph number for an UTF-8 code point. Please make this information accessible, either by exposing the cmap, or preferably adding a function similar to this: int Typeface::getGlyphNumberForCodePoint (int codePoint) const; Additional information is in this thread.
