cidg
: CID to Glyph ID table
- class fontTools.ttLib.tables._c_i_d_g.table__c_i_d_g(tag=None)[source]
The AAT
cidg
table has almost the same structure asgidc
, just mapping CIDs to GlyphIDs instead of the reverse direction.It is useful for fonts that may be used by a PDF renderer in lieu of a font reference with a known glyph collection but no subsetted glyphs. For instance, a PDF can say “please use a font conforming to Adobe-Japan-1”; the
cidg
mapping is necessary if the font is, say, a TrueType font.gidc
is lossy for this purpose and is obsoleted bycidg
.For example, the first font in
/System/Library/Fonts/PingFang.ttc
(which Apple ships pre-installed on MacOS 10.12.6) has acidg
