提取 ttf 字体连字映射答案

【问题标题】：Extracting ttf font ligature mappings提取 ttf 字体连字映射

【问题描述】：

我有一个现有的ttf font，我希望将所有连字映射提取到此表单中：

{
    "calendar_today": "E935",
    "calendar_view_day": "E936",
    ...
}

我在这个脚本中使用fontkit：

const fontkit = require('fontkit');
let font = fontkit.openSync('./MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf');
let lookupList = font.GSUB.lookupList.toArray();
let lookupListIndexes = font.GSUB.featureList[0].feature.lookupListIndexes;

lookupListIndexes.forEach(index => {
    let subTable = lookupList[index].subTables[0];
    let ligatureSets = subTable.ligatureSets.toArray();

    ligatureSets.forEach(ligatureSet => {
        ligatureSet.forEach(ligature => {
            let character = font.stringsForGlyph(ligature.glyph)[0];
            let characterCode = character.charCodeAt(0).toString(16).toUpperCase();

            let ligatureText = ligature
                .components
                .map(x => font.stringsForGlyph(x)[0])
                .join('');

            console.log(`${ligatureText} -> ${characterCode}`);
        });
    });
});

但是，我没有得到完整的连字名称。输出：

...
alendar_today -> E935
rop_portrait -> E3C5
ontact_phone -> E0CF
ontrol_point -> E3BA
hevron_right -> E5CC
...

我做错了什么？通过 FontForge 的分析来看，字体的 Ligature 名称没有丢失任何字符。

【解决方案1】：

如here所述，第一个字符是根据覆盖范围记录计算的。

首先，计算前导字符

let leadingCharacters = [];
subTable.coverage.rangeRecords.forEach((coverage) => {
    for (let i = coverage.start; i <= coverage.end; i++) {
        let character = font.stringsForGlyph(i)[0];
        leadingCharacters.push(character);
    }
});

然后，通过子表的索引访问这些字符

let ligatureSets = subTable.ligatureSets.toArray();
ligatureSets.forEach((ligatureSet, ligatureSetIndex) => {

    let leadingCharacter = leadingCharacters[ligatureSetIndex];

    ligatureSet.forEach(ligature => {
        let character = font.stringsForGlyph(ligature.glyph)[0];
        let characterCode = character.charCodeAt(0).toString(16).toUpperCase();

        let ligatureText = ligature
            .components
            .map(x => font.stringsForGlyph(x)[0])
            .join('');

        ligatureText = leadingCharacter + ligatureText;

        console.log(`${ligatureText} -> ${characterCode}`);
    });
});
