Adobe Glyph List (AGL) — compile-time glyph name to Unicode codepoint lookup.

Bundled from the Adobe Glyph List 2.0 (2002), available at: https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/agl-aglfn

Usage 

iex> Pdf.Reader.AGL.glyph_to_unicode("eacute")
{:ok, 0x00E9}

iex> Pdf.Reader.AGL.glyph_to_unicode("notaname")
:error

Notes

  • Only the FIRST codepoint of multi-codepoint entries is returned (ligatures such as fi map to their decomposed form's first character). This is sufficient for single-glyph font-encoding lookups.
  • All ~4500 entries are compiled to BEAM pattern-match clauses at build time for O(1) lookup performance during text extraction.
