How to get the actual font name from a font file?

Hi
I have only the font Path I have to get the font name from that path. Any idea how to get the actual font name?
Thanks,

I would ask you these questions:
Why do you need to do this? What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
Are you really asking about the InDesign SDK?
Do you really need to get the "name" of a font from an arbitrary file? Or do you want information about a font installed on the system? If so, what OS?
Do you need to be able to handle any font format?
Which font "name" do you mean?
What language do you want the name in?
(1) It's not clear what you're trying to accomplish. A bit more information about your ultimate goal would be helpful.
(2) This question is not at all specific to the InDesign SDK. Are you really trying to do something in the context of an InDesign plug-in? If so, you probably want to look at IID_IFONTFAMILY and the IFontFamily::GetFamilyName function.
(3) If you are asking more generally, Windows and Mac both have system API calls to get this information, although those tend to deal with installed system fonts, not with arbitrary font files per se.
Also, you can parse the name table from a True Type or Open Type font without using any system APIs; as True Type and Open Type are well-documented standards. I would start by reading these:
The Naming Table
Font Names Table
(4) Although there are other standards, such as Type 1 (PostScript) fonts, and True Type Collection files and other formats, especially on Mac.
(5) Also, when you start down this road, you will quickly realize that your seemingly simple question is actually ambiguous, and that the answer is kind of complicated, because a font can have many names (a family name, a full font name, a style name, a PostScript name, etc.).
(6) And not only does a font have multiple names, it can have each of those names in multiple languages and encodings.
Any clarification would make this a better question.

How to get the Portal Page name from PLSQL?

Can anyone tell me how to get the portal page name from my dynamic page using plsql?
Apparently you can get the page id and work it out from there, but my calls to get the page id are not returning any values anyway.
My code for attempting to get the page id is below.
<oracle>
declare
v_pageid varchar2(30);
begin
v_pageid := wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('_pageid', '/pls/portal30');
htp.print('Page is '|| v_pageid);
end;
</oracle>
Ideally I'd actually just like to get the page name. Is there a straightforward way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Sarah

Few clarifications -
1. wwpro_api_parameters cannot be used to get default portal
page parameters such as '_pageid', '_dad', '_schema' etc.,
2. Page information can be obtained through any components which
are available in that particular page. For example, in case of
dynamic page, we need to publish it as a portlet and add it to the
page. This process creates necessary packages in the DB, but we
will not have access to the portlet methods.
So, I would prefer creating a simple DB provider & portlet and access
page title from its show method as follows -
//Declare local variable l_page_id, l_page_title as varchar2
select page_id into l_page_id from wwpob_portlet_instance$ where
portlet_id = p_portlet_record.portlet_id and
provider_id = p_portlet_record.provider_id;
select name into l_page_title from wwpob_page$ where id=l_page_id;
More information on DB provider can be found at
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/understanding.database.providers.html
Secondly, usage of wwpro_api_parameters.get_value method is
incorrect. This method expects two arguments -
<ul>
<li><b>p_name : </b> The name of the parameter to be returned.</li>
<li><b>p_reference_path : </b> An unique identifier for a portlet instance on the current page.</li>
</ul>
p_reference_path would be something like 99_SNOOP_PORTLET_76535103 and not some type of path as its name suggests.
The following code fragment fetches all parameters available
for a portlet.
Note : Copy this code into 'show' method of your portlet.
//Declare l_names, l_values as owa.vc_arr
* Retreive all of the names of parameters for this portlet
l_names := wwpro_api_parameters.get_names(
p_reference_path=>p_portlet_record.reference_path);
* Retreive all of the values of parameters for this portlet
l_values := wwpro_api_parameters.get_values(p_names=>l_names,
p_reference_path=>p_portlet_record.reference_path);
//Loop through these arrays to get parameter information
htp.p('<center><table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="90%" >');
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.tableData(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_heading('Name',1));
htp.tableData(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_heading('Value',1));
htp.tableRowClose;
if l_names.count = 0 then
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.p('<td COLSPAN="2">'
||wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text(
'No portlet parameters were passed on the URL.',1)
||'</td>');
htp.tableRowClose;
else
for i in 1..l_names.count loop
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.tableData(l_names(i));
htp.tableData(l_values(i));
htp.tableRowClose;
end loop;
end if;
htp.p('</table></center>');
Hope it helps...

How to get the pull path name from a file upload window

Hello everyone!
I have encountered the following problem with the following JSP code:
<form method="post" action="filename.jsp">
Upload JAVA program:
<input type=file size=20 name="fname" accept="java">
<input type=submit value="go">
</form>
<%
String s = "";
if (request.getParameter("fname") != null)
s = request.getParameter("fname")
%>
The value of s is alway the filename. However I want to get the full path in addition to the filename, so that I can read the file. Does anyone know how to get the pull name of the file?
thanks a lot in advance,

Dear Sir,
thanks a lot for your reply. Please let me explain what I intended to do: I want to upload a file from the local machine and then read the content of the file. Therefore I need to the fullpath of the filename like /var/local/file.java instead of file.java. The latter is what I got.
The problem I have with your code is that the function like "request.getServerScheme()" is not recognized. Maybe is it because I didn't install servelet package? I only installed javax package btw. Also my application runns on Tomcat server if this could give you some information. The error message I had is as follows:

But i did nt find the method to get it.

But i need path and have to do some calculations on it.No, you don't. If you have requirements which say you do then the requirements are wrong. You couldn't do anything useful with the path on the client system even if you could get it.
is there any alternatives in java
I need path and have to calculate MD5, Presumably you need to calculate MD5 on the contents of the file and not on the name of the file.
and convert the file to binary format.... etc oprations on itSorry, "convert a file to binary format" is basically meaningless.
but we can get the content of the file using
byte [] get()/ getString() methods
If i get content is there any performance degrades?
ie if the content is lengthy is it take more time?Take more time than what? Degrading performance from what? It's certainly true that it would be quicker to not upload the file, but that's a pointless comparison. If you have some other process to compare with, let us know what it would be.

How to get the last data point from a TDM file in LabVIEW?

Hello,
I am using LabVIEW to analyze some rather large TDM files, and I need a way to get only the last data point. So far, the only way I have been able to accomplish this is by reading the entire file. Is there a property in the TDM file or a function in LabVIEW that will allow me to get the index of the last item in a channel?
Thanks!
Christina

Do you want to avoid reading whole file and want to be able to reach or get the index of last value of channel? is there any specific reason? I am not sure you could do it without loading the whole file. But the easiest way would be just to use array functions "array size" would give you the index of last element.

How to get the default selection color from JTable

Hi, there,
I have a question for how to get the default selection color from JTable. I am currently implementing the customized table cell renderer, but I do want to set the selection color in the table exactly the same of default table cell renderer. The JTable.getSelectionBackgroup() did not works for me, it returned dark blue which made the text in the table unreadable. Anyone know how to get the window's default selection color?
Thanks,
-Jenny

The windows default selection color is dark blue. Try selecting any text on this page. The difference is that the text gets changed to a white font so you can actually see the text.
If you don't like the default colors that Java uses then use the UIManager to change the defaults. The following program shows all the properties controlled by the UIManager:
http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
Any of the properties can be changed for the entire application by using:
UIManager.put( "propertyName", value );

How to get the actual data in ALV report

I am doing some upgradation work in that i am using Submit & And return and also i am using some function modules like LIST FROM MEMORY , LIST TO TXT wnd WRITE LIST , it gives output in normal list format , But i need to print in ALV report .
With the use of set table for 1st display i got the ALV report but not with actual data, (some junk value is showing) , So can any 1 suggest me how to get the actual data in ALV report, With the use of Any Function Module or with Coding,
with regards,

Hi Saravana
I am sure you must be getting the values in tables of table parameters from every FM.
consolidate the values from tables of all FMs in one table and built ALV for that table only.
I hope this way you can show the actual data in ALV.

How to get the current schema name

Thanks
Jogesh

ok folks, I found the answer at Tom's as usual.
http://asktom.oracle.com/tkyte/who_called_me/index.html
I rewrote it into a function for kicks. just pass the results of DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK to this function and you will get back the owner of the code making the call as well some extra goodies like the name of the code and the type of code depending on the parameter. This ignores the AUTHID CURRENT_USER issues which muddles the schemaid. Quick question, does the average user always have access to DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK or does this get locked down on some systems?

How to get the report server name in Forms 10g.

How to get the report server name in Forms 10g.
I'm using the Application Server 10g 10.1.2.

Hello,
I do not think that you can get this value from anywhere. A solution is to put the Reports server name in an environment variable stored in the /forms/server/default.env file, then to query it at Forms runtime with the TOOL_ENV.Getvar() built-in.

see http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60//javadocs/weblogic/jdbc/pool/Driver.html
However, I think it is safer to configure and use DataSource to get connection.

How to get the store procedure name inside this store procedure?

how to get the store procedure name inside this store procedure?

Why cant you get the procedure name as hard code as the proc name is going to change.
Are you looking for getting the parent proc name from child proc name which is getting executed within parent proc?
Try the below:
--Parent Proc
Alter Proc sp_test
as
Begin
Declare @s varbinary(MAX) = Cast('sp_test' as Varbinary(MAX));
SET CONTEXT_INFO @s;
exec sp_test2
End
--Child proc
Alter proc sp_test2
as
SELECT Cast(CONTEXT_INFO() as varchar(100));
--Test execution
Exec sp_test
