Editing PANOSE metadata
While PANOSE metadata is helpful for searching, not all fonts contain it for several reasons:
not all font types can contain it (PostScript Type 1 fonts have no PANOSE table);
not all type designers fill it in;
some PANOSE metadata is plainly wrong.
Fontmatrix provides a way to add or edit PANOSE metadata non-destructively — by storing changes in its database rather than in the font files. This also keeps your changes compliant with most proprietary font licenses.
Pick the font and choose → . In the dialog, choose new values and click . From then on, PANOSE searches will use the corrected data. Currently the only way to reset the changes is to re-import the font.
