Font family name
Font Subfamily name; for purposes of definition, this is assumed to address style (italic, oblique) and weight (light, bold, black, etc.) only.

Full font name; this should be a combination of strings "Font family name" and "Font Subfamily name". Exception: if the font is "Regular" as indicated in string "Font Subfamily name", then use only the family name contained in string "Font family name". This is the font name that Windows will expose to users
Version string. Must begin with the syntax 'Version n.nn ' (upper case, lower case, or mixed, with a space following the number).
The string must contain a version number of the following form: one or more digits, followed by a period, followed by one or more digits. The first such match in the string can be used by installation software to compare font versions. Note that some older installers may require the string to start with "Version ", followed by a version number as above
Postscript name
Trademark; this is used to save any trademark notice/information for this font. Such information should be based on legal advice. This is distinctly separate from the copyright
Manufacturer name
Designer; name of the designer of the typeface

Manufacturer Monotype Typography Designer Monotype Type Drawing Office - Robin Nicholas, Patricia Saunders 1982 Description Contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.
