I’d like to propose a new SFNT table LABL, which will map glyph IDs to name table records which contain human-readable labels for the glyphs.

Name table is already tight. Put it in its own table. And remove the platform encoding BS. Reference languages in ltag or whatever 🍎 table it is.

I'm not convinced about the whole concept though, but then I haven't read the proposal try. :)

Yeah, no. This is importing way too much data into the engines with little agreed benefits. Worrying that up to input methods is impractically hard.

I’ve rewritten the proposal, and created a “discussion issue” for the proposal here: twardoch#1
