The feedback that we received from the previous article on this subject has been extraordinarily valuable. Our proposal to leave the names of Adobe-Japan1-7 subset fonts unchanged met with virtually unanimous agreement, but given the relatively minor nature of the Adobe-Japan1-7 additions, to the tune of only two glyphs, the same naming policy seems to benefit Adobe-Japan1-6 fonts as well.
In other words, fonts that currently support Adobe-Japan1-6 in its entirety can be updated to Adobe-Japan1-7 without changing their names. Of course, the advertised Supplement value as recorded in the 'CFF ' table should reflect 7. The following is a revised version of the table from the previous article on this subject:
| Supplement | Designator | JIS2004-Savvy Designator | /CIDFontName & Menu Name Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Std | StdN | KozMinStd-Regular, 小塚明朝 Std R KozMinStdN-Regular, 小塚明朝 StdN R |
| 4 | Pro | ProN | KozMinPro-Regular, 小塚明朝 Pro R KozMinProN-Regular, 小塚明朝 ProN R |
| 5 | Pr5 | Pr5N | KozMinPr5-Regular, 小塚明朝 Pr5 R KozMinPr5N-Regular, 小塚明朝 Pr5N R |
| 6 | Pr6 | Pr6N | KozMinPr6-Regular, 小塚明朝 Pr6 R KozMinPr6N-Regular, 小塚明朝 Pr6N R |
| 7 | Pr6 | Pr6N | KozMinPr6-Regular, 小塚明朝 Pr6 R KozMinPr6N-Regular, 小塚明朝 Pr6N R |
Of course, we still welcome any and all feedback about this font-naming issue.
