Newest version of restructure doesn't support all string encodings

[timmyL17]

It appears that the newest version of restructure does not support all string encodings. When I tried to open a font file on my mac, the font name fields were all null because restructure does not support the x-mac-roman encoding. Perhaps fontkit should depend strictly on restructure v3.0.0 until restructure updates?

Can you reproduce this here? Noting that this may be related to diegomura/react-pdf#2675

Repro!

var fontkit = require('fontkit');

// open a font synchronously
var font = fontkit.openSync('src/arial-bold.ttf');

// layout a string, using default shaping features.
// returns a GlyphRun, describing glyphs and positions.
var run = font.layout('hello world!');

// get an SVG path for a glyph
var svg = run.glyphs[0].path.toSVG();

// create a font subset
var subset = font.createSubset();
run.glyphs.forEach(function(glyph) {
  subset.includeGlyph(glyph);
});

console.log('name:'+font.getName());
console.log('fullname:'+font.fullName);


let buffer = subset.encode();
console.dir({buffer});

fullnae is Arial Bold under [email protected], null for [email protected]

also repro:

• clone fontkit
• npm i
• npm t (passes)
• npm i --save [email protected]
• npm t (fails)

Here https://github.com/foliojs/fontkit/blob/master/src/tables/name.js#L13

Is where random encodings are passed to restructure.

Thanks, you beat me to it. That was essentially my repro. I should have posted it at the beginning.
