I am at present dealing with a corrupt TrueType font. Programs available to me tell me there is a problem with the maxp table -- the maxContours member has a value that is too large. Is there a sure-fire way to detect when a maxContours value is too high or too low (yes that too can be a problem)? (Fonts are programs so one way to detect a font fil

I'm trying to write a Java program that finds the TTF for a font face given its name.

Since technically, fontforge is capturing the glyph widths from the binary TTF file, and then create a AFM font file based on the AFM standard template. I wonder if it is possible to directly convert a TTF file to a list of
