Every now and then, I try to reverse-engineer which exact nameIDs a certain piece of software is using to display the name and style of a font. Let’s say, an obscure system my client is using. So, I am considering making a font that has “self-named” nameIDs that reveal which one is used in the app (there may be limitations to this approach, though). Has anyone done that before?

@DunwichType I suppose that would require a whole bunch of test fonts. But we’d go to great lengths to figure that out, wouldn’t we?
