Add argument for listFontGlyphNames() ?

[HugoJourdan]

Could it be possible to pass a font as argument in listFontGlyphNames(), in addition to the current method ?
Like with listNamedInstances()

font("Times")
glyphs = listFontGlyphNames()

#Additonnal method could be
glyphs = listFontGlyphNames("Times")

Getting font attributes/info and optionally provide a fontName or path:

• listOpenTypeFeatures(fontNameOrPath=None)
• listFontVariations(fontNameOrPath=None)

Getting font attributes/info without a option to provide a fontName or path (you need to set a font(..) first):

• fontContainsCharacters()
• fontContainsGlyph(..)
• fontFilePath()
• fontFileFontNumber()
• listFontGlyphNames()
• fontAscender()
• fontDescender()
• fontXHeight()
• fontCapHeight()
• fontLeading()
• fontLineHeight()

Im actually in favour of deprecating the fontNameOrPath argument...

any other ideas @justvanrossum ?

[justvanrossum]

No strong opnion here. I'm fine with deprecating, although I bet it will make some people unhappy.

[typemytype]

the other option is to support fontNameOrPath in the other callbacks... or how to decide which one get the optional argument and which one not

[HugoJourdan]

I believe that adding support for fontNameOrPath in other callbacks could be very beneficial.
