Ttf Name Table

[Karleen Chura]

Eachtime you create a table, Excel assigns a default name to the table according to this naming convention: Table1, Table2, Table3, and so on. To make it easier to refer to a table, for example, in a workbook that contains many tables, you can name each table.

When you create a linked-record field that points to a different table, Airtable creates a reciprocal link, and it gives the reciprocally linked field the same name as the table to which it links. That is, if I create a linked-record field in [Table A] that links to a record in [Table B], Airtable automatically creates a linked-record field in [Table B] that links to [Table A] and is named Table A.

Thank you for your elaborate answers all, apologies for not getting back to you before. Actually, I understand most of the comments but I think my issue is different. Does this screenshot illustrate my problem better? Again, the issue is that the table names appear under the name they were originally created under, not their current name.

Simple problem here. Whenever I use any DB connect tool (generally the standard input tool or dynamic input) and write a SQL query, Alteryx has an incredibly annoying habit of appending the table name to each column name in my query.

Does anyone have a solution for preventing Alteryx from doing this to my queries? This is just a simple example, so this doesn't even show how crazy my huge queries get, where it not only appends the table names, but it also removes all spatial formatting and flattens my query--essentially rendering it as an unreadable block of text.

The issue that you're encountering here is in part due to the Visual Query Builder and how it manipulates code to create the desired result. If you would like to maintain your own SQL without the additions. I recommend you open your Query Builder and choose the SQL Editor tab and check the box to open on that tab by default. This will prevent your SQL from opening via the Visual Query Builder and leave your SQL code unaffected by changes enforced by the Visual Query Builder.

Many newer platforms can use strings intended for different platforms if a font does not include strings for that platform. Some applications might display incorrect strings, however, if strings for the current platform are not included.

There are two versions of the Naming Table. Version 0 uses platform-specific, numeric language identifiers. Version 1 allows for use of language-tag strings to indicate the language of strings. Both versions include variable-size string-data storage, and an array of name records that are used to identify the type of string (name ID), platform, encoding and language variants of the string, and the location within the storage.

Version 0 differs from version 1 in regard to handling of language identification: it uses only numeric language IDs, which generally are values less than 0x8000 and have platform-specific interpretations. See Name Records below for more detail.

When version 1 is used, the language IDs in name records can be less than or greater than 0x8000. If a language ID is less than 0x8000, it has a platform-specific interpretation as with a version 0 naming table. If a language ID is equal to or greater than 0x8000, it is associated with a language-tag record (LangTagRecord) that references a language-tag string. In this way, the language ID is associated with a language-tag string that specifies the language for name records using that language ID, regardless of the platform. These can be used for any platform that supports this language-tag mechanism.

The language-tag records are associated sequentially with language IDs starting with 0x8000. Each language-tag record corresponds to a language ID one greater than that for the previous language-tag record. Thus, language IDs associated with language-tag records must be within the range 0x8000 to 0x8000 + langTagCount - 1. If a name record uses a language ID that is greater than this, the identity of the language is unknown; such name records should not be used.

Each string in the string storage is referenced by a name record. The name record has a multi-part key, to identify the logical type of string and its language or platform-specific implementation variants, plus the location of the string in the string storage.

The name ID identifies a logical string category, such as family name or copyright. Name IDs are the same for all platforms and languages; these are described in detail below. The other three elements of the key allow for platform-specific implementations: a platform ID, a platform-specific encoding ID, and a language ID.

As with encoding records in the 'cmap' table, name records must be sorted first by platform ID, then by platform-specific encoding ID, then by language ID, and then by name ID. Descriptions of the various IDs follow.

The platform, encoding and language IDs of a name record allow for platform-specific implementations. Different platforms can support different encodings, and different languages. All encoding IDs are platform-specific. Language IDs are similarly platform-specific, except in the case of IDs used in conjunction with the language-tag mechanism of naming table version 1, described above.

For a typographic family that includes member faces that differ from Regular in relation to attributes other than weight, width or slope, there may also be some member faces that differ only in relation to these three attributes. For example, the Minion Pro family includes Minion Pro Display, but also includes Minion Pro Bold and Minion Pro Italic. IDs 21 and 22 should be used only in those fonts that differ from the Regular face in terms of an attribute other than weight, width or slope. For example, IDs 21 and 22 should be used in Minion Pro Display, but not in Minion Pro Bold or Minion Pro Italic.

Note: While both Apple and Microsoft support the same set of name strings, the interpretations may be somewhat different. But since name strings are stored by platform, encoding and language (placing separate strings for both Apple and MS platforms), this should not present a problem.

The key information for this table for Microsoft platforms relates to the use of name IDs 1, 2, 4, 16 and 17. Note that some newer applications will use name IDs 16 and 17, while some legacy applications require name IDs 1 and 2 and also assume certain limitations on these values (see descriptions of name IDs 1 and 2 above). Fonts should include all of these strings for the broadest application compatibility. To better understand how to set values for these name IDs, some examples of name usage, weight class and style flags have been created.

The following is an example of family/subfamily naming for an extended, WWS-only family. Consider Adobe Caslon Pro, with six members: upright and italic versions of regular, semibold and bold weights. (Bit 8 of the fsSelection field of the OS/2 table, version 4, should be set for all six fonts, and none should include 'name' entries for IDs 21 or 22.)

The following is an example of family/subfamily naming for an extended, non-WWS family. Consider Minion Pro Opticals, with 32 member fonts: upright and italic versions of regular, medium, semibold and bold weights in each of four optical sizes: regular, caption, display and subhead. The following show names for a sampling of the fonts in this family. (Bit 8 of the fsSelection field in the OS/2 table, version 4, should be set in those fonts that do not include 'name' entries for IDs 21 or 22, and only in those fonts.)

The following sections provide details regarding platform IDs, platform-specific encoding IDs, and platform-specific language IDs used in the 'name' table. For details regarding platform, encoding or language IDs used in the 'cmap' table, see Encoding records and encodings in the 'cmap' table chapter.

Note that other platform IDs have been defined for use only in the 'cmap' table. Also note that a new encoding ID for the Unicode platform may sometimes be assigned when new 'cmap' subtable formats are defined, and these may also be appropriate for use in the 'name' table. For example, when 'cmap' subtable formats 10 and 12 were added to the specification, encoding ID 4 was added as well.

There are no platform-specific language IDs defined for the Unicode platform. Language ID = 0 may be used for Unicode-platform strings, but this does not indicate any particular language. Language IDs greater than or equal to 0x8000 may be used together with language-tag records, as described above.

Encoding IDs for platform 3 'name' entries should match the encoding IDs used for platform 3 subtables in the 'cmap' table. When building a Unicode font for Windows, the platform ID should be 3 and the encoding ID should be 1. When building a symbol font for Windows, the platform ID should be 3 and the encoding ID should be 0. If a font has records for encoding IDs 3, 4 or 5, the corresponding string data should be encoded using code pages 936, 950 and 949, respectively. Otherwise, all string data for platform 3 must be encoded in UTF-16BE.

Note: Some legacy Traditional Chinese fonts had name entries for platform 3, encoding ID 4 (Big5) with some string data encoded using code page 950 but with the string data for name ID 2 (font subfamily) encoded, instead, in UTF-16BE. For example, this was the case in the MingLi font included in the Traditional Chinese edition of Windows 95. Some older software implementations, including Windows GDI, allow for this exception.

My opinion on why this is easier is that to my knowledge you would still need a formula tool in order to use the Constant for a table name, and so at that point you may as well define it in your singular formula.

If you were going to use this value in multiple different places a Constant would be more appropriate.

one last thing is :- So i changed the table name in the formula and actually it also loaded the table, which i wanted. But in the output it still shows previous table name. if i want to change that also with the formula table name, then what we need to do??
