warning while generating .ttf file

[प्रविण सातपुते]

"Windows has decided that fonts with 'name' tables bigger than 5K are
insecure and will refuse to load them. Don't ask me why they believe this.
This font has a name table which is 6948 bytes and is bigger than this
limit."

.... MicroSoft recently (2009) released a security patch in which they
decided that font's whose 'name' table was bigger than 5K were insecure.
Personally I cannot fathom their logic, but that's OK, I usually can't.
Unfortunately many licenses *are* bigger than 5K, the OFL is for one, so it
is now "better" to include a link to a license website rather than the full
text of the license -- at least it is if you want your font to work on
Windows.

Most of the fonts has license included inside fonts itself.
