Font naming problems in Adobe CS2 - bold

[Bojan Banjanin]

Hi!

I have created font family with 3 styles: regular, italic, bold. I followed instructions for proper font naming but it didn't work well when I installed these fonts on Windows XP SP1 with Adobe CS2 on it.
The problem is, that in InDesign I have 2 examples of my font in font list: one with regular and italic styles, and one that is named GRID (OTF) Korean which represents bold. Codepage is MS Windows 1250 Central European.
I don't understand why this is happening, because on Adobe CS3 it work OK (one font with 3 styles) and even Unicase version of font is listed in styles list, which is in CS2 represented as separate font in font list.

Does anybody knows whats wrong?

Hi

I have ever experience problem similarly this one. Maybe can solve the problem too. It have thread into font info (file>font info). Firstly, We must have consistency font name and let the "fontlab machine" work (e.g. italic and bold style would get by clicking (activating) "font is italic" in the "name and copyright" tab. Be careful filling more your font's info through the tab's font info. Into the "[PCLT] supported codepage", please type different file name with continuous font number for each font's file, for instance:

Typeface   : abacus pro ------ regular
File Name   : ABAR00

Typeface   : abacus pro It ------ Italic
File Name   : ABAR01

Typeface   : abacus pro Bd ------ bold
File Name   : ABAR02

Thinks I can't covered all your problem, cause my few knowledge ( sorry friend  ), but hope this will solve as well.

Best Regards.
