The readme does mention that over in https://github.com/foliojs/fontkit#other-properties, the characterSet
property is specifically for Unicode codepoint glyphs only. If you compare its length to numGlyphs, though, you will see that Fontkit does know that Calibri has over 6.5k glyphs:
const fontkit = require("fontkit");
const fs = require("fs/promises");
fs.readFile("./calibri.ttf")
.then((font) => {
font = fontkit.create(Buffer.from(font));
console.log(font.numGlyphs);
console.log(font.characterSet.length);
})
.catch(err => console.error(err));
outputs:
6954
3663
So if you want to work with the non-unicode glyphs, you'll have to build that list, but then you might still not be able to actually access those characters given that Fontkit's API is built around working specifically with Unicode codepoints.
However, also note that a ton of glyphs are not "letters": glyphs are just vector graphics, and while some glyphs are actual letters, with an associated code point, plenty are just "components" that used in other glyphs, and would make no sense when rendered in isolation: if you load Calibri in an actual font editor, you'll see it contains 3378 "unmapped" glyphs, meaning they are not meant to ever be rendered in isolation, only to be used as parts of other, real, glyphs. In terms of glyphs that you should actually be able to "use" for Calibri, there are only 3660 glyphs with outlines, plus three "empty" glyphs (notdef, the nonmarking return, and space)
from fontkit.
