OpenType Import Options
Special options for importing OpenType fonts can be customized on the
OpenType page of the Tools > Options dialog box:
Import OpenType tables If you want FontLab to read OpenType tables (GSUB,
GPOS and GDEF), keep this option on.
Import kerning from the
“kern” feature
In OpenType fonts kerning data is stored as feature
named “kern”. This option lets you import kerning data
from that feature and to convert it to plain pair kerning
format. You can perform this operation later using
FontLab’s OpenType-editing tools, but we recommend
doing it during font import.
Name-reading options
To support multiple languages OpenType and TrueType
fonts often have several versions of the font names. Use
the choices of this control to select one of the options to
read those names.
Interpret “mort” table Allow to read “mort” table that may store information
about font substitution in Japanese fonts. FontLab will
try to convert this data to OpenType feature.
