[mpeg-OTspec] Re: Draft CFS requirements

[Levantovsky, Vladimir]

Michael,

Welcome to the group, it's good to have you as a contributor to these discussions.

As far as the scope of the spec (and, in particular, a contingency processing for missing/unidentified fonts) is concerned, we should try and bring any issues up for discussion. Anything that we can resolve in the spec would be a benefit for developers, and if we can reach consensus on a particular aspect and/or proposal - it should be part of the spec.

Best regards,
Vladimir

First let me introduce myself. My name is Michael Warning and I'll be replacing Mikhail Leonov on the Microsoft side of things. I'm new to this whole process so I hope you'll bear with me as I get up to speed.

The summary looks reasonable to me. My only comment is not so much about the document as about future agendas. In reference to "therefore component fonts are expected to be missing or misidentified and contingency processing is normal and expected", is it generally expected that the spec will define what that contingency processing is?

Regarding the terminology - I will review it once again and replace Composite Font Format with CFS where appropriate; as far as CFS object is concerned - "Composite Font Standard object" (or CFS object) doesn't sound right, I think that "Composite Font object" (or CF object) would be a better term for it.
