the difference between UCS-2 and UTF-16 is really important since specific formats would be needed to support UTF-16. In contrast, there’s nothing that would necessarily need to be different for name table data structures. In fact, I doubt that there’s anywhere

verified that the current text is the exact match of OT 1.6 (<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/name.htm">http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/name.htm</a>) – with the exception of the example page (<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/namesmp.htm">http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/namesmp.htm</a>)

open (until 8/31/12). However, it’s not “now or never” kind of deal so I don’t want anyone to feel rushed to make changes – the clarity of the spec is what matters so if it takes us little longer to finalize it – it’s fine (this is what the working drafts
are for).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Thanks for getting this process going.<br>
<br>
I have some questions about the spec for the name table.<br>
<br>
1) In section 5.2.6.3 Name IDs, below the table of name IDs, is a Note in which the text:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">All 'name' table strings for platform ID 3 (Windows platform) must be in Unicode, using the UTF-16 encoding form. The character set encding for 'name' table strings with platform
ID 0 (Macintosh) is determined by the encoding ID.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">has been replaced with:<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Note that OS/2 and Windows both require that all name strings be defined in Unicode. Thus all 'name' table strings for platform ID = 3 (Windows) will require two bytes per character.
Macintosh fonts require single byte strings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><br>
This appears to be a regression to the text from MS spec 1.6 -- is that intended? If so, the "two bytes per character" phrase needs to be updated to modern language.
<br>
<br>
But in either case, a key question is whether SMP characters (coded using surrogate pairs) are permitted or not. If they are, then the correct term to use is "UTF-16". If they are not, then "UTF-16" is
<i>not</i> the correct term -- I think the correct term would then be "UCS-2".<br>
<br>
2) Section 5.2.6.2 5.2.6.2 <i>Platform IDs, Platform-specific encoding IDs and Language IDs</i> currently includes this table:<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><a name="enc3"><b>Windows platform-specific encoding IDs (platform ID= 3)</b></a>
<o:p></o:p></p>

What does the third column of this table mean? In the context, it seems to be saying that if I want a name string with SMP characters in it, then I can use 3/10 encoding and encode the string in UCS-4. Is that what it is really saying? If this is true, then
it goes counter to <i>either </i>of the quotes in my question 1 above (about UTF-16 or 2-byte characters).<br>
