Discussion

Glyph names identify glyphs in the font and may use the descriptive naming conventions recognized by Glyphs. Exported font files may use a different production name. Use validateName(_:)validateName:validateName_ before assigning a name supplied by an API client. Assigning nil or an empty string does not change the name.
