[Gdal-dev] problem getting style of point features

[ksa]

Hi, Frank!
I have follow MIF file:

--top of MIF file
Version 300
Charset "WindowsCyrillic"
Delimiter ","
CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 0
Columns 2
  ID Integer
  Code Char(8)
Data

Point 36.145654 54.531409
    Symbol (45,0,10,"MapInfo Weather",0,0)
--end of MIF file

The corresponding style string is:
SYMBOL(a:0,c:#000000,s:10pt,id:"mapinfo-sym-45.ogr-sym-8").
There is no information about font name in that style string. How I can get
information about font name? MIF-file contains the information about font
name ("MapInfo Weather").
