opentype__font_version

Checking font version fields (head and name table).

opentype/font_version

• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

The OpenType specification provides for two fields which contain the version number of the font: fontRevision in the head table, and nameID 5 in the name table. If these fields do not match, different applications will report different version numbers for the font.
