Different systems use different characters or sequences of characters as line separators. Do not hardcode "\n", "\r", or "\r\n" as the line separator in your program. Instead, use the println() method of PrintStream or PrintWriter, which automatically terminates a line with the line separator appropriate for the platform, or use the value of the line.separator system property.

Panose tag in font table “OS/2”
PANOSE is a classification number of 10 bytes. This 10 byte series of numbers is used to describe the visual characteristics of a given typeface. These characteristics are then used to associate the font with other fonts of similar appearance having different names.
The Panose values are fully described in the Panose "greybook" reference.
