Language system tags identify the language systems supported in a OpenType Layout font. Microsoft uses the standard language system tag names defined in the Windows Natural Language Support API document (called NLSAPI.doc), in Appendix A: Locales and Language ID’s. This document is available on the Microsoft Developers Network CD released by Microsoft quarterly, or it can be acquired directly from Microsoft Typography.
All tags are 4-byte character strings composed of a limited set of ASCII characters in the 0x20-0x7E range. If a language system tag consists of three or less lowercase letters, the letters are followed by the requisite number of spaces (0x20), each consisting of a single byte.
