DR 09-0061: Shared MLs, Shared Simple Types: Constrain ST_Panose value set

[suzuki toshiya]

Dear Chris,

Sorry for lated response.

>> 04040605051002020D02 (Gabriola)
>> 04020705040A02060702	(Algerian)
>> 04030905020B02020C02	(Bauhaus 93)
>> 04040905080B02020502	(Broadway)

>> \s*0?[0-5]\s*0?[0-9A-Fa-f]\s*0?[0-9ABab]\s*0?[0-9]\s*0?[0-9]\s*0?[0-8]\s*0?[0-9ABab]\s*0?[0-9A-Fa-f]\s*0?[0-9A-Da-d]\s*0?[0-7]\s*

According to MSDN's definition of Panose:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd162774%28VS.85%29.aspx
the analysis of the values of 4 fonts in above
is following:

name:        defined range:  the values in 4 fonts in above
bFamilyType: 0x00 - 0x05: 0x04 ok
bSerifStyle: 0x00 - 0x0F: 0x02-0x04 ok
bWeight:     0x00 - 0x0B: 0x06-0x09 ok
bProportion: 0x00 - 0x09: 0x05 ok
bContrast:   0x00 - 0x09: 0x02-0x08 ok
bStrokeVariation: 0x00 - 0x08: 0x0B-0x10 not good
bArmStyle:   0x00 - 0x0B: 0x02 ok
bLetterForm: 0x00 - 0x0F: 0x02-0x06 ok
bMidLine:    0x00 - 0x0D: 0x05-0x0D ok
bXHeight:    0x00 - 0x07: 0x02 ok

The stroke variation byte exceeds the defined
range of PANOSE.bStrokeVariation in MSDN.

I have no idea how existing implementations of Microsoft
handle these values. The production of these fonts are
following:

* Gabriola is produced by John Hudson, Microsoft
* Algerian is produced by URW
* Bauhaus 93 is produced by URW
* Broadway is designed by URW, MonoType and Microsoft

Chris, could you find any experts worked for the production
of Gabriola? I want to ask how its bStrokeVariation value
(out of the range defined in MSDN) is defined and how it
is expected to be dealt. I'm not sure the values in other
fonts (Algerian, Bauhaus 93 and Broadway) are set by
Microsoft or other productions (like URW).
