postscriptname null in some version of fontkit #336

Open alecjacobson opened 3 months ago

alecjacobson commented 3 months ago

I admit I'm lost in my node dependencies, but I have some configuration where this program works correctly:

var fontkit = require('fontkit');

// open a font synchronously from arg
var font = fontkit.openSync('STRRETCH-SANS-FREE-dqme76.otf');
console.log(font.postscriptName);

and outputs:

STRRETCHSANSFREERegular

But then in a different node installation directory this same program will just output:

null

I liked the behavior that I could reliably get the postscriptname from the font I loaded from file. Did this feature change?

also, fwiw, both of my installs are supposedly using 2.0.2 so it's really weird that they're producing different behavior. Maybe there's an issue with dependencies?

If I downgrade to 1.9.0 I don't seem to have a problem. But already 2.0.0 produced null in one of the installations
