As a matter of principle, I don’t provide fonts with platformID 1 names. Is there anyway to make Glyphs stop generating them (it should be the default IMO, but I’m OK with a non-default option).

I reduced the number of entries for platform 1 in Glyphs 3 but the remaining ones seem to be quite useful in various places.
I added a Export Mac Name Table Entries parameter that can be unchecked to not have mac names.

It’s been a while, but we did run into problems whenever we left out name ID 6. That is why I kept Mac ID 6 in font productions I administered. Not sure what it was though, perhaps just a negligible constellation of OS and app circumstances. I can try and dig it up if it is of any interest.
ufo2ft/fontmake stopped building platformID 1 names for sometime now, I faced no issues and I think none were reported by others.

I’m using this now, but it seems that name IDs 4 and 6 are still written to platform ID 1 even wen the custom parameter is set to false, is this intentional?
I’m guessing some other parameter is interfering. What does your font info look like?
I fixed it.

I upgraded to 3087 build, but I’m seeing no change here.
You are right. Wrong branch.
