The “fontName” is a specific name that is never shown to the user and is used internally. And it should be ascii only. You should be able to remove it by clicking the “–” button in the right.

This cannot be deleted. If two fonts have this deleted, there will be a conflict when installing the fonts because an empty name with a default suffix of 「.regular」 will be automatically generated.
