# Method Image.TTF.Face()->_names()

Method _names

  `mapping names()`
  `array(array) _names()`

Description

  Gives back the names or the complete name-list of this face.

  The result from names() is a mapping, which has any or all of these indices:

      "copyright":   ("Copyright the Foo Corporation...bla bla")
      "family":      ("My Little Font")
      "style":       ("Bold")
      "full":        ("Foo: My Little Font: 1998")
      "expose":      ("My Little Font Bold")
      "version":     ("June 1, 1998; 1.00, ...")
      "postscript":  ("MyLittleFont-Bold")
      "trademark":   ("MyLittleFont is a registered...bla bla")

  This is extracted from the information from _names(), and fit into pike-strings using unicode or iso-8859-1, if possible.

  The result from _names() is a matrix, on this form:

           ({ ({ int platform, encoding, language, id, string name }),
              ({ int platform, encoding, language, id, string name }),
              ...
           })

Returns

  the name as a mapping to string or the names as a matrix

Note

  To use the values from _names(), check the TrueType standard documentation.
