Sadly, I expect this from free fonts, but these are anything but! The mac probably never looks at the OS/2 table. That's a MicroSoft extension and in the old days mac fonts did not even have it.
I would guess that the mac is simply reading strings out of the 'name' table (probably SubFamily string ID). _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
