@justvanrossum for me design is a part of production, they overlap.

@Bahman I agree they can overlap, but "design" is not a subset of "production", it's more like a venn diagram. Sketching is part of design, not of production. Exporting a TTF is part of production, not of design. Deciding what OT features are needed is part of design. Writing them and making sure they work correctly is maybe overlapping design and production. Kerning is part of design. But making sure your kerning is correctly exported as an OT feature is production. Adding a 'kern' table to support PowerPoint is production. Making sure the glyph names in the final font conform to technical requirements is production. Therefore: production names are final names.
