RIBBI naming for a Light + Bold family

Using Fonts
1

Hey there!

I’m working on a family with only two styles: Font Light & Font Bold.

The client insists on the Light being called so. However they want it to act as the RIBBI Regular in Word while still displaying the actual name Font Light to the user.

So far, I’ve found two approaches:

  1. As Glyphs exports it: The nameID01 entry for both fonts is Font Light which results in the Bold being shown sometimes as Font Light Bold. The RIBBI works, but the way the name is displayed in Word is undesirable. In Adobe it’s fine, they appear separately as Light and Bold.

  2. I have renamed the nameID01 for both fonts to Font only. The RIBBI works, but the way the Light is displayed is simply as Font.

  3. Any other option I’ve tried so far results in the RIBBI not working.

I have two questions:

How often is the nameID01 displayed/used in applications? I know about Word, but where else?

Is there a better, non-compromising way to set this up so that Light is the RIBBI Regular, while still being displayed as “Font Light”?

Thanks in advance!
