"Regular" weight fonts don't work #33

When I download a font, they seem to work well (regular, italic, bold and bold italic show correctly on the Mac Font Book). However, when using them in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer and other programs, the regular weight shows as the bold weight? Is as if the programs don't recognize the regular font weight.

I also have this issue when trying to use a book reader in GNOME desktop. I did find that checking the "Download without processing" box helps with this, though I feel this is a workaround rather than a proper solution.

This appears to have been a problem with the OpenType.js-based font rebuilder that TypeRip was previously using to rebuild font files. This code has since been removed, so this should no longer be an issue, but please open a new issue if it happens again.
