Installs only one Weight/Style on Windows

[Aninsi-Sasberg]

If I try to Install all Fonts via the "Install Fonts for all Users" option it only installs one Font Style Multiple TImes. For example, if I try to install the Futura PT it results in me having 15 versions of Futura PT Book Oblique. In the OpenType Preview Window it renders them all differently and correctly.

Is there any fix for this?

Are you using Windows OS? Windows handles metadata differently from macOS or Linux, you need to install fonttools to change the font metadata.

I also have this issue on MacOS

[IMPORTANT ISSUE] Wouldn't it be possible to fix this? @CodeZombie @Artellia You should put more resources into solving these fundamental problems, otherwise it becomes useless to generate fonts since they cannot be used in the right way (since the problem was raised 1 year ago)

As you explained @Aninsi-Sasberg font families are installed as single fonts and not belonging to families.

The problem lies precisely in the generation of the name of the Family (e.g. Helvetica) and the Subfamilies (Helvetica Regulat, Bold, Italic) with the various weights (300,500,600,800). Here explains something: https://www.fonttutorials.com/how-to-name-font-family/

Another problem that occurs is in the Font Name that is generated, Windows detects different font files with the same name, so when I go to install one it uninstalls the other (even if physically they are different characters and weights, but having the same name sees it as unique). In font marked with the number 1 it is installed, if I want to install in number 2 the number 1 is uninstalled. Ditto for the number 3

@CodeZombie @Phrixus73 Is there any news regarding the issues raised last month, have you managed to find any solutions? Corrected font names and weights (families and subfamilies), Download All, Download Zip... Thanks
