font names are not set correctly

[akorobov]

Thank you for awesome font! Installing fonts downloaded from webpage on osx (10.11) result in Font Book marking them as duplicates because style names for regular/oblique/bold are all set to 'halftight' (option chosen during download):

I'll look into this tomorrow. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

@akorobov @chase :+1: It's something down here that needs fixing: https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid/blob/master/Scripts/fontbuilder.py#L169

Should be "Monoid HalfTight Oblique" etc. I think.

Fontname: Monoid-HalfTight-Oblique
Family Name: Monoid HalfTight
Name for Humans: Monoid HalfTight Oblique

This: https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid/commit/de20501faf3b72f72574aaa7b1c97e4a57eea085 should be merged with gh-pages once this https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid/commit/95f874112b38e21cf4d26caf011be04273eeb30c is included together with a fix for this issue.

:+1: It wasn't possible to add the name change to the family name instead? I could foresee some potential problems with e.g. editors and VIMs not being able to guess what bold and oblique version to use.

What we have now

Fontname: Monoid-Oblique-Tight
Family Name: Monoid
Name for Humans: Monoid Oblique Tight

What I think is preferable

Fontname: Monoid-Tight-Oblique
Family Name: Monoid Tight
Name for Humans: Monoid Tight Oblique

There shouldn't be any problems for most editors, but then again I'm pretty tired. The original issue was for font duplication issues. This addresses it without rewriting a lot of code.

Your suggestions belong in another issue as it is another task entirely.

@chase ok, it's still the same issue though since the naming is still technically not set correctly. No reason to create more issues :smile:

In e.g. Atom editor you set the family name and then it automatically picks bold and oblique from there meaning in the current state you can't use anything but the default width.
