The resolution adopted was simply to add the notTrueType element to the list
of elements; however, given the concern about ordering of entries in this
list (see resolution to DR 09-0041), where should this new element be
inserted? For now, I have placed it at the end, and the current combination
of DRs 09-0041 and 0042 is, as follows:
Part 1, §17.8.2, Font Substitution, p. 751
The exact algorithm which is used for font substitution is highly dependent
on the characteristics which are most desirable when performing the
substitution: similar appearance of each glyph (to maximize visual
familiarity), similar physical characteristics (to minimize changes in line
height and breaking), etc. ISO/IEC 29500 recommends that applications
looking for the closest match to the following pieces of information (in
descending priority) in order to determine a suitable alternative font;
however, applications are free to apply more sophisticated logic in its
place:
* sig (§17.8.3.16)
* charset (§17.8.3.2)
* panose1 (§17.8.3.13)
* sig (§17.8.3.16)
* charset (§17.8.3.2)
* pitch (§17.8.3.14)
* family (§17.8.3.9)
* altName (§17.8.3.1)
* notTrueType (§17.8.3.12)
