    Description

      Open/TrueType fonts might offer nice names for their glyphs, that can be found in its CFF or post table. f.e see https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6post.html ( Table 73 )

      For some reason these names are not supported from the QRawFont API.

      My use case is about icon fonts being used to create textures from their painter path on the scene graph thread. Unfortunately i have to bypass QRawFont::pathForGlyph ( using the internal fontEngine directly ) to avoid the thread check in QRawFontPrivate::isValid().
