Naming for adobe apps. Submenu mixed

Glyphs
1

Hello,

I am currently trying to design a typeface family with 7 straight weights and 7 italic weights (those I named “cursive” to be more fancy). Unfortunately when I test the fonts in Adobe apps, the submenu seems to be in wrong order. What is curious is that it seems to be different in every app. I have checked the instances time and time again, and I can’t find what am I doing wrong.

Here are some pics:

In indesign everything seems to look fine.

In illustrator some straight weights get ahead of the cursive weights.

In photoshop straights and cursives get flipped.

Here are screens of instances in question:

heavy

I would appreciate any help.

Delete the weightClass parameters, and set the Weight pop-ups properly. Bold should be Bold, Black should be Black. Consider renaming ‘Heavy’ to ‘Extrabold’, but in any event set the Weight pop-up menu to ExtraBold.

Take a look at the Naming tutorial:

You are using the Adobe Fonts folder, right?

Sorry. The screen was made after an hour of increasingly more frantic attempts to correct the problem. For most of the time the Weight menu was the same for both variants, and the problem persisted.

I read the Naming tutorial.

I wasn’t using Adobe Fonts folder, because I don’t install my fonts there, so I didn’t think testing there would be appropriate. I did this now, and the order was fine. But when I tried to install the fonts back in the system some mix-ups appeared again. Is this a cache problem?

Thank you for responding.

Yes. That is why you should use the Adobe Fonts folder, especially if you’re testing in Adobe apps.

Yeah, well… Better to make a fool of yourself sooner, rather than later. Sorry for littering the forum. :pensive:
