Hello everyone. There is a field named WWS Family Name and another WWS Subfamily Name. What does WWS mean and what does it correspond to? In what kind of Windows fonts can we find these values? Thanks for your explanations.

On FontForge, the term appears in the localization file, but is not explained.
In the documentation, there is a reference to an outdated link: WWS Family

Re: WWS Family
I should add, FontForge talks about PFM families, a feature I didn’t find in FontCreator. Could it be the same thing?
The PFM¹ Family is used when generating PFM files and classifies the font into some rather broad categories (Serif, Sans, Monospace, Script, Decorative).
¹PFM = Font Metrics Format

WWS Family
This question has still not been answered!
The explanations provided in the FontCreator help by typing WWS in the help are non-existent. It only says:

Re: WWS Family
I don't know FontForge, so I can't answer your question. It seems like a more generic font name, but better read their documentation, or ask for support at their site.Pyanepsion wrote: ↑Sun Oct 03, 2021 7:47 am I should add, FontForge talks about PFM families, a feature I didn’t find in FontCreator.

The user manual is currently not updated for version 14, we are working on it.
