To add a new name record, click on the button on a toolbar, select
name record options using the controls below the list and type in the name
record content. To enter non-ANSI characters use “\[unicode index]” or
“\[code]” notation where [unicode index] is the Unicode index of the
character if the name record is for the Unicode (0 or 1) platform and [code]
is the character code in the Mac Roman codepage if the name record is for
the Macintosh platform. For example you may enter “\0411” for the Cyrillic
“beh”.
Note that you can use the same notation in FontLab’s Metrics window or
Preview panel, so if you open a Unicode font you may test the name
records there.
To remove a record select it in the list and click on the
button. Click
on the
button to remove all name records.
You can use the OpenType page of the Options dialog box to control the
import and export of the additional name records:
Import options:
Read only non-English
name records
This is the default choice – FontLab will read only
those additional records that cannot be interpreted to
“standard” name records, which have dedicated pages
in the Font Info dialog box.
Do not read OpenType
name records
With this selection any record that cannot be
interpreted by the default algorithm is ignored.
Read all OpenType name
records
All name records are imported as additional OpenType
records and are placed in the page.
