Has anyone ever dealt with reading the tables from a font file, mainly the "name" table?

Mainly, entries 0, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 13.

I'm trying to figure it out, but am a bit lost when reading the specs and trying to wrap my mind around it and come up with some code for it.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
~Garrett

What version of VDS are you trying to do this with? What type of font (ie... TrueType, OpenType, Type 1)? As in what is the extension on the font file so I can look up the header for that file type?

VDS 5.2 and TTF. The tables are suppose to be pretty much the same in OpenType also.
