Font Familes are messed up in Snow Leopard

[Jason]

I have a set of 4 fonts (reg, bold, italic and bolditalic) that worked fine in both windows and mac. I now see after upgrading to snow leopard on the mac that it separates my font into two different families, as can be seen in Font Book.  Even when I go into TypeTool and change the family name under font info. and regenerate the font and reinstall it, the Mac is still showing it having the original font family name.

I can't figure out what is going on. They need to be in the same font family for XeTex program that I'm using.

I've used Cocktail to clear caches and fix permissions and have removed the font and reinstalled it and nothing seems to change.

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

Open these fonts with the demo of FL Studio and observe their Font Info>Additional OT names. Unfortunately you cannot alter this table data with TypeTool.

o.k., I opened the four fonts in Font Studio and the regular version has nothing listed in the "additional open type names", and this font seems to work fine. However the other three fonts all have the same info in the "additional open type names", they are all set to bold and say they were made with fontographer. I created this font with type tool, so I'm not sure how this info got into the font, and so the question is how do I get the info OUT of the font? If I can't edit this info with Type tool, is it possible to open a new file and cut and paste my glyphs? and kerning info? Or is there any other way to reset this info in open type names?
