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`
