updated otf.trid.xml for OpenType Font *.otf
« on: March 15, 2020, 07:52:06 PM »
Hello trid users,

some days ago i handled some OpenDocument Formula Template with file
name extension otf. That extension is also used for OpenType Font
data.
When running TrID on such font samples all are described correctly as
"OpenType Font" by otf.trid.xml (See appended output/trid-v-old.txt).

But there exist some minor errors. The used reference URL on Microsoft server
does not exist any more. So i replace that URL with one on Wikipedia about
OpenType font. That is now expressed by line:
   <RefURL>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType</RefURL>

According to reference the actual mime type is not application/font-sfnt. The
actual used mime type is now expressed by line
   <Mime>font/otf</Mime>

With the updated trid definitions all my inspected OTF fonts are now
described with correct mime type and existing reference URL ( see appended
output/trid-v-new.txt)
TrID definition, output stored in archive otf-font.zip. I hope that my
updated XML file can be used in future version of triddefs.

With best wishes
