Style Name differences cause OSX Menu Order to rearrange

The name table is mostly generated by makeOTF…

But…

@GeorgSeifert

MakeOTF has some opinions about duplicating names. Thats why Glyphs writes its own name table now.

So is NID18 generated by Glyphs or MakeOTF? And can this be controlled via Glyphs?

@mekkablue

I had a look at your file, and makeotf ignores your Name ID 18 entry, probably because it is the default full name anyway. It only makes sense to set it if it were different from the Mac Name ID 4, which is not the case in your font. To test, you can add ‘blabla’ to it, and then makeotf will not ignore it.

Perhaps Glyphs leaves this to MakeOTF?
