   * @description:
   *   A structure used to model an SFNT 'name' table entry.
   *
   * @fields:
   *   platform_id ::
   *     The platform ID for `string`.  See @TT_PLATFORM_XXX for possible
   *     values.
   *
   *   encoding_id ::
   *     The encoding ID for `string`.  See @TT_APPLE_ID_XXX, @TT_MAC_ID_XXX,
   *     @TT_ISO_ID_XXX, @TT_MS_ID_XXX, and @TT_ADOBE_ID_XXX for possible
   *     values.
   *
   *   language_id ::
   *     The language ID for `string`.  See @TT_MAC_LANGID_XXX and
   *     @TT_MS_LANGID_XXX for possible values.
   *
   *     Registered OpenType values for `language_id` are always smaller than
   *     0x8000; values equal or larger than 0x8000 usually indicate a
   *     language tag string (introduced in OpenType version 1.6).  Use
   *     function @FT_Get_Sfnt_LangTag with `language_id` as its argument to
   *     retrieve the associated language tag.
   *
   *   name_id ::
   *     An identifier for `string`.  See @TT_NAME_ID_XXX for possible
   *     values.
   *
   *   string ::
   *     The 'name' string.  Note that its format differs depending on the
   *     (platform,encoding) pair, being either a string of bytes (without a
   *     terminating `NULL` byte) or containing UTF-16BE entities.
   *
   *   string_len ::
   *     The length of `string` in bytes.
   *
   * @note:
   *   Please refer to the TrueType or OpenType specification for more
   *   details.
