After finishing a bold version of a font I noticed this. In windows 7 the font name inside of the fonts folder does this:
Install Regular version and the name looks normal:
Name Name Name
Install Bold version and the name looks like:
Name Name Bold Name
It's splitting the name up and the Bold is going into the middle of the name. When selecting in notepad the bold version says:
Name Name - Bold Name
I've checked the fontlab file and it's all correct. Thanks for any help.

The algorithm was designed to work around things that existing fonts were doing, particularly in name IDs 1 and 2, but also in other fields.
Try adding name ID 16 = "Sign In Cursive" and setting OS/2.fsSelection bit 8, and is if that resolves the issue.
