font_family in page.get_text() dict at span level instead of font_name about pymupdf HOT 12 CLOSED

Sure, Thanks for your quick response.I would check the same and let you know.

This method returns the font name! Using pymupdf.TOOLS.set_subset_fontnames(True) will return the subset prefix too.

BTW please make sure to upgrade your Python version soon.
Version 3.8 will no longer be supported beginning with some release on October.
Seizing support means we will no longer create wheels and stop accepting issues.

This worked. Thanks !
Can we get the encoding or the font symbolic name for each span, as there can be different encodings defined for the same base font. Therefore, Font symbolic name helps in this case.

No, this is not possible. Between fonts having identical names down to even the subset prefix "ABCDEF+" cannot be differentiated.

Can we get the font name from the span as well the base font name too?
For eg.:
For a span, I need to have
"font" : "Calibri" and "BaseFont" : "AFHYFG+Calibri" both.

from pymupdf.

If a font is a subset or not can be determined by whether there exists a prefix made of 6 uppercase characters followed by a "+".
There is no other information available.

from pymupdf.

Is there a restriction on the number of characters in the subset font name??
For eg.:

The internal structure had the below as the subset font name
/BaseFont /ABCDFG+TimesNewRomanPSMT-BoldCond
and
TOOLS.set_subset_fontnames(True)
and
span["font"]
returned
ABCDFG+TimesNewRomanPSMT-BoldCo

The last two characters from the subset font name are missing.

Can you let me understand why this had happened?

from pymupdf.

Yes, there is an in-built length restriction of 31 on the font name.

from pymupdf.

Oh, is it??

Which means even though the base font name in the internal structure has the number of characters more than 31, set_subset_fontnames(TRUE), strips it to 31 characters only??

but What if there's a necessity to get the full length base font name???

from pymupdf.

No way to do this - sorry.

from pymupdf.

That's ok.

Appreciate your quick response.
