    Fields

    Name Description
    CopyrightNotice

    The copyright notice

    Description

    Description; description of the typeface. Can contain revision information, usage recommendations, history, features, etc.

    Designer

    Designer; name of the designer of the typeface.

    DesignerUrl

    URL Designer; URL of typeface designer (with protocol, e.g., http://, ftp://).

    FontFamilyName

    The font family name; Up to four fonts can share the Font Family name, forming a font style linking group (regular, italic, bold, bold italic — as defined by OS/2.fsSelection bit settings).

    FontSubfamilyName

    The font subfamily name; The Font Subfamily name distinguishes the font in a group with the same Font Family name (name ID 1). This is assumed to address style (italic, oblique) and weight (light, bold, black, etc.). A font with no particular differences in weight or style (e.g. medium weight, not italic and fsSelection bit 6 set) should have the string "Regular" stored in this position.

    FullFontName

    The full font name; a combination of strings 1 and 2, or a similar human-readable variant. If string 2 is "Regular", it is sometimes omitted from name ID 4.

    LicenseDescription

    License Description; description of how the font may be legally used, or different example scenarios for licensed use. This field should be written in plain language, not legalese.

    LicenseInfoUrl

    License Info URL; URL where additional licensing information can be found.

    Manufacturer

    The manufacturer

    PostscriptName

    Postscript name for the font; Name ID 6 specifies a string which is used to invoke a PostScript language font that corresponds to this OpenType font. When translated to ASCII, the name string must be no longer than 63 characters and restricted to the printable ASCII subset, codes 33 to 126, except for the 10 characters '[', ']', '(', ')', '{', '}', '<', '>', '/', '%'. In a CFF OpenType font, there is no requirement that this name be the same as the font name in the CFF’s Name INDEX. Thus, the same CFF may be shared among multiple font components in a Font Collection. See the 'name' table section of Recommendations for OpenType fonts "" for additional information.

    SampleText

    Sample text; This can be the font name, or any other text that the designer thinks is the best sample to display the font in.

    Trademark

    Trademark; this is used to save any trademark notice/information for this font. Such information should be based on legal advice. This is distinctly separate from the copyright.

    TypographicFamilyName

    Typographic Family name: The typographic family grouping doesn't impose any constraints on the number of faces within it, in contrast with the 4-style family grouping (ID 1), which is present both for historical reasons and to express style linking groups. If name ID 16 is absent, then name ID 1 is considered to be the typographic family name. (In earlier versions of the specification, name ID 16 was known as "Preferred Family".)

    TypographicSubfamilyName

    Typographic Subfamily name: This allows font designers to specify a subfamily name within the typographic family grouping. This string must be unique within a particular typographic family. If it is absent, then name ID 2 is considered to be the typographic subfamily name. (In earlier versions of the specification, name ID 17 was known as "Preferred Subfamily".)

    UniqueFontID

    The unique font identifier

    VendorUrl

    URL Vendor; URL of font vendor (with protocol, e.g., http://, ftp://). If a unique serial number is embedded in the URL, it can be used to register the font.

    Version

    Version string. Should begin with the syntax 'Version <number>.<number>' (upper case, lower case, or mixed, with a space between "Version" and the number). The string must contain a version number of the following form: one or more digits (0-9) of value less than 65,535, followed by a period, followed by one or more digits of value less than 65,535. Any character other than a digit will terminate the minor number. A character such as ";" is helpful to separate different pieces of version information. The first such match in the string can be used by installation software to compare font versions. Note that some installers may require the string to start with "Version ", followed by a version number as above.
