Title "stem" names in "fontdir" vs."stem" names returned by PfQueryFonts
Ref. No. QNX.000004783
Category(ies) Development
Issue Are the "stem" names in "fontdir" different from the "stem" names returned by PfQueryFonts?


Solution They are currently (1.13) always the same.  The reason that developers should not use them directly is  because our font team wants the ability to change the naming convention at any time, thus stem names could change somewhat.  If an application uses the descriptive name, like "Helvetica" and cross references this in the array returned by PfQueryFonts(), then there should be no problem, because you will always have the correct stem name.
