What's in a name? The reason for the name change is to comply with the SIL Open Font License (OFL), in partcular the [Reserved Font Name mechanism][SIL-RFN] | ||
|
||
Some fonts have parts of their name "reserved" per the [Reserved Font Name mechanism][SIL-RFN]: | ||
> No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font | ||
> Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding | ||
> Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as | ||
> presented to the users. | ||
- The main goals seem to be to: `Avoid collisions`, `Protect authors`, `Minimize support`, and `Encourage derivatives` | ||
