Topic awaiting preservation: PHP Read TTF Font Name

Anyone know an easy way to read the Font name from a TTF font file via php?

they bitdamaged,
you can find the whole file format spec at http://www.microsoft.com/typography/SpecificationsOverview.mspx

chapter 2 seems to be describing the format in detail enough to be able to open it up with php->fopen() and search what you're looking for.
Not that easy, but it should be doable in a couple of hours ;-)

so long,

Actually which raises another question. I've never had to deal with reading binary data like image headers etc, and it's something I should probably learn at some point. Anyone know of a good tutorial on how this is done?
