<br></blockquote><div><br></div>According to the OTspec (<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/os2#fstype">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/os2#fstype</a>) the "edit only" option means that a font (a) can be embedded in a document and (b) can subsequently be transiently loaded onto a system opening the document to edit the document. That's in contrast to "can be transiently loaded onto a system for read-only usage of the document".</div><div><br></div><div>I suspect that the confusion of the _ONLY label is just due to sub-optimal naming; I don't think the specification upstream matches that, semantically.<br></div><div>Nate<br></div><div>-- </div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">nathan.p.willis<br><a href="mailto:nwillis@glyphography.com" target="_blank">nwillis@glyphography.com</a><a href="http://identi.ca/n8" target="_blank"></a></div></div></div>
