<div><font><span style="line-height: 19px;">For a Font Collection to be installed on the desktop, certainly the components would need to have different names. But what of a Font Collection that’s embedded in a document? Such a document format may have only
a component font index within a collection to identify a particular font, and thus there would be no need to have a 'name' table in the embedded </span></font><span style="line-height: 19px;">collection</span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> at all – or perhaps only
a single shared 'name</span><span style="line-height: 19px;">’</span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> table containing, say, just a copyright string.</span></div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I know that the OFF/OT spec’s “requirements” for tables etc are desktop-specific & we’ve talked in the past about having different sets of profiles for requirements (desktop, embedded, etc). That hasn’t happened, but I’d say
let’s not have explicit restrictions on what can be shared in a collection or not. Let the restrictions rather fall out of how tables are constructed.</div>
