name__trailing_spaces

Name table records must not have trailing spaces.

name/trailing_spaces

• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: yes
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

This check ensures that no entries in the name table end in spaces; trailing spaces, particularly in font names, can be confusing to users. In most cases this can be fixed by removing trailing spaces from the metadata fields in the font editor.
