[com.fontwerk/check/style_linking] Should accept failing on fonts with Platform mac name ID 2 name not italic.
[com.fontwerk/check/style_linking] Should Pass fonts with Platform mac name ID 2 name not italic?
Jun 7, 2024
Thanks @guidoferreyra for the hint, but this is intended. Even though you're right, the real world shows different rules. When eg. Mac and Win name ID is different, it causes other issues like cross platform issues. To be on the save side, we stick to Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic also for Mac entries. This is based on experiences I made over years in Quality Assurance.
Observed behaviour
On a font that has properly set fsSelection and macStyle to Italic but the name record 2 for mac platform is not Italic the check raises a FAIL:
AFAIK the limitation of ID 2 to be only Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic is only for win platform.
Should the check be more specific here?
