Apple's truetype spec and the OpenType spec say contradictory things about the Postscript name (nameid=6). Apple says there there can be only one PostScript name in the 'name' table and suggests that it have (plat=1, spec=0, lang=0). OpenType says that there must be two (and any additional ones will be ignored) (plat=1, spec=0, lang=0) & (plat=3, spec=1, lang=0x409) A person at Apple tells me that this difference really matters, though it did not seem to in the one font I tested.
Does anyone know? http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/opentype/name.html http://developer.apple.com/fonts/TTRefMan/RM06/Chap6name.html (search for PostScript in both cases)
