title: Names
---
A table of global, localizable names for the font.
## Names._formatspecific
* Python type: `dict`
Each object in Babelfont has an optional attached dictionary to allow the storage
of format-specific information. Font creation software may store any additional
information that they wish to have preserved on import and export under a
namespaced (reverse-domain) key in this dictionary. For example, information
specific to the Glyphs software should be stored under the key `com.glyphsapp`.
The value stored under this key may be any data serializable in JSON; typically
it will be a `dict`.
Note that there is an important distinction between the Python object format
of this field and the Babelfont-JSON representation. When stored to JSON, this key
is exported not as `_formatspecific` but as a simple underscore (`_`).
