After using the FCP project file to generate the font, there was confusion in the naming of the font.  
The first case is unchecked generate the following naming fileds,like this

after generate,the style become regular ,and map name fields become empty ,just like this  
 ![image](https://forum.high-logic.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/304d7caf0cb12f3ca1aabbb775816255666c5df8.png)

after generated ,the style map name of second language lost the style ,like this  
 ![image](https://forum.high-logic.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7143517dca07fdf1fe9770811436c919b86b5518.png)

Tried out a few new scenarios, filled in these three fields, and added other languages to the full font name. After exporting, it works normally.  
But what I want to say is that in the previous version, the 1 and 2 places were to export normal font files without filling in

I don’t know what to inspect, as in the fcp file the Style Name is Medium for both English and Chinese.

Can you provide a correct font file or other information that allows us to reproduce the problem?

I gave the FCP project file for 3 different cases and exported the corresponding TTF file. And briefly record the relevant situation in the pdf file.

Here is the font files with the regular style.His naming method is very simple, and you can directly generate the correct font file by directly checking the recommendation.

I really think there’s a problem when exporting Regular or Bold. The file exports correctly. However, when exporting Light or Medium, the programs don’t recognize the font correctly.

 ![No Name](https://forum.high-logic.com/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e4ebccf58f6ebcc887818f22d2bc4fa8abebaf8f.jpeg)

It works properly, but appears without a name in the font list.  
Only Regular and Bold work correctly.  
All the other fonts, from Thin to Fat, appear without a name, but they work correctly.  
I had to change the font names. Instead of Extra-bold, I used EB, etc.  
and use only Regular and Bold.

Why is there no response? I hope the problem is fixed before the expected update is released.

I have looked at this problem, but haven’t figured it out yet. Like you I also hope to have a solution early next week.

Hello, my friend.  
When exporting a font as Thin, Light, Medium, or Black, the font name isn’t exported correctly.  
The font works very well, but the problem is with the naming. Programs don’t recognize the font name.  
This didn’t happen in previous versions.  
This problem doesn’t appear when exporting as Regular or Bold.

I am having the same issue.  
It’s no longer possible to write information into the Additional Naming Fields for Typographic Family, Typographic Subfamily, Style Map Family Name, and Style Map Style Name.

Whether the fonts are exported as “Current Layer” or “Statics from Instances”, “Statics from Masters”, whether “Generate automatically” is checked or not, when I reimport the output back in to Fontcreator, the fields are blank.

</div>

I have looked at the files, but to me it is totally unclear what the problem is. I first need to understand and be able to reproduce the issue before I can think of a solution.

So if you have a problematic export, do provide the font project file along with the exported font and clearly explain what fields you believe are incorrect.

For me, I can solve the problem by adding English. I didn’t have to do this in previous versions.

I just discovered this problem only exists when exporting (.otf)  
Maybe it’s an old problem, I only started exporting fonts (.otf) this month.

It seems there are some different issues related to font names. If you want us to fix your font naming issue, do provide a sample font project along with information that clearly shows the issue.

First, I’m sorry. I don’t think my problem is the same as the other participants.  
I shared the files. The two files are identical in every way, except that one is TTF and the other is OTF.  
Note in the image that the TTF file is previewed correctly.  
However, the OTF file appears blank.  
If I add the English alphabet to the OTF file, it displays correctly.
