I also would like to remind all that we are targeting the next meeting dates (April 22-26) as a tentative deadline to promote the new edition of the spec to the next stage (it has been in the working draft stage for a year now)

Greetings, Vladimir.

Given the lack of opposing replies, and Dave Opstad's positive reply, I request that, in the description of 'post' table format 2.0, the text:


This TrueType-based font file contains glyphs not in the standard Macintosh set or the ordering of the glyphs in the TrueType font file is non-standard (again, for the Macintosh). The glyph name array maps the glyphs in this font to name index. If the name index is between 0 and 257, treat the name index as a glyph index in the Macintosh standard order. If the name index is between 258 and 32767, then subtract 258 and use that to index into the list of Pascal strings at the end of the table. Thus a given font may map some of its glyphs to the standard glyph names, and some to its own names.
Index numbers 32768 through 65535 are reserved for future use. If you do not want to associate a PostScript name with a particular glyph, use index number 0 which points the name .notdef.

be replaced by:

and that this change be incorporated into the current draft prior to the April 22-26 meeting.

Thanks,
