The Galley Character Segment will be invalid if the format number is not supported or if the segment size declared in the Segment Size field is larger or smaller than required for the number of regions (N). If the segment is invalid, the font download will be ignored. Galley Character Segments can be downloaded with any Font Format 15 or 16 font, regardless of font type. The Galley Character Segment can be used to implement a requirement of the Microsoft Windows Version 3.1, Japanese Version, Microsoft Standard Character Set Specification (March 11, 1993), which states "when there is an output request for a character of a specified typeface, even if the glyph corresponding to the specified character code does not exist, some glyph data will be output. For double-byte characters, the glyph of the default character defined for the given TrueType font is used. For single-byte characters, the glyph at 0xA5 (small dot, U+FF65) is used."

The Galley Character Segment will be invalid if the format number is
not supported or if the segment size declared in the Segment Size
field is larger or smaller than required for the number of regions (N). If
the segment is invalid, the font download will be ignored.
Galley Character Segments can be downloaded with any Font Format
15 or 16 font, regardless of font type.
The Galley Character Segment can be used to implement a
requirement of the
Microsoft Windows Version 3.1, Japanese Version,
Microsoft Standard Character Set Specification
(March 11, 1993),
which states “when there is an output request for a character of a
specified typeface, even if the glyph corresponding to the specified
character code does not exist, some glyph data will be output. For
double-byte characters, the glyph of the default character defined for
the given TrueType font is used. For single-byte characters, the glyph
at 0xA5 (small dot, U+FF65) is used.”
