Hello,
I am exporting fonts from Glyphs 3.2 (3192) and I set the CP “Export Mac Name Table Entries” to true. The exported fonts however are missing NID’s 0, 3, 7, 8 & 13.
Am I missing something?
Those name ids where not exported for some time.
Do you have a situation where those ids would be needed?
It’s about backwards compatibility, the original fonts had them so the modified should have them as well. I just assumed the CP mirrors all the NID’s it can from MS to Mac.
So there is no specific make or brake situation. I was just wondering.
You can add them with a Name Table Entry parameter (see the documentation in Font Info), but I advise against it.
As I said, this is about a compatibility issue, not a best-practice case.
The Name Table Entry parameter would support everything except NID 3 according to its tooltip.
Anyways, I was just curious what this was about and if there is a quick fix for that.
I will just fix it in post-processing in the binaries.
