How to clean bloated name table records from a font
- Step 1Drop your font — Any TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2. The tool decompresses if needed and parses the name table.
- Step 2We rebuild the name table — Keep only Windows platform Unicode-encoding English-language records for nameIDs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14 (family, subfamily, full name, version, PostScript name, licence, licence URL).
- Step 3Download the cleaned font — Output is a TTF with a slim name table. Visible behaviour identical to the source — only metadata strings are reduced.
Frequently asked questions
Will font installation still work on macOS?+
Yes. macOS Font Book reads Windows platform records too. Mac platformID=1 entries are duplicates — removing them is safe.
Does it preserve the licence?+
Yes. nameID 13 (licence description) and nameID 14 (licence URL) are kept by default. Toggle the option if you need a fully stripped font for specific testing.
How much do I save?+
Lightly-localised fonts: 1–3 KB. Heavily-localised fonts (full multilingual name records): 5–15 KB. Worth running the tool to measure your specific font.
