[CLOSED] Typographic Family value not being output to TTF
Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2020 12:33 pm
If I set:
>> Font Properties => Extended => Typographic Family
to a value, the output .TTF file does not have that value in Name Table ID 16. This may happen because:
>> Font Properties => Extended => Typographic Subfamily
is blank. Or maybe because Typographic Family matches the setting in:
>> Font Properties => Identification => Font Family
My situation is analogous to the OpenType Spec, Name String Examples section, the 5th example, where
Name ID 1 = Arial
Name ID 2 = Regular
Name ID 4 = Arial
Name ID 16 = Arial
Name ID 17 = <blank>
... and if FC is not outputting name ID 16 because of any of the potential reasons I mentioned, then I can't actually get the behavior recommended by the OpenType Spec.
I have not done extensive testing on this ... I could attempt to track this down with more testing, but thought you might have a quick explanation of the FC behavior ...
