The following tags are extracted from the TrueType font "name" table found
in OTF, TTF, TTC and DFONT files. These tags support localized languages by
adding a hyphen followed by a language code to the end of the tag name (ie.
"Copyright-fr" or "Licence-en-US"). Tags with no language code use the
default language of "en".
