"Rename" in Windows explorer or in FC?

Is there a way to avoid adding that appended addition?

Great! I can see that the font has a different name when I look in my graphic program. That is the "temporary name"?

I have a few older fonts that I created and I had named them just Stitching1, Stitching2, and so on.
What would be the simplest way to rename the fonts considering that there is the filename, and the font name that I want to match?

In an old thread https://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?t=5195&start=15 , I mentioned that I was using TheFontThing to access the font I was creating, in my graphic program (PaintShop Pro).

In addition, I added Polish in the list (instead of deleting it) and edited the label to the same one used in English. She confirms that it is now displaying...

I made the changes you suggested, and re-export the font. It created two new fonts in the folder with (1) added to the name. I chose to rename the files so the previous one had (old) in the name, in my Windows Explorer and for the newly created one, which had (1), I removed that so it would have the...

Oh, that is great to hear. I just followed the instructions, and sent to the Polish user. I should hear from her later today or tomorrow. I will report back as soon as she can confirm that the behavior of the font has changed.
