JFP ceased hyphenating his name some years ago. I don't recall the reason.0

Très distingué, comme d’habitude. Avec un peu YSL: http://typofonderie.com/gazette/post/jean-francois-porchez-chevalier-dans-l-ordre-des-arts-et-des-lettres/1

“Jean-François” is a single first name that can be abbreviated “J.-F.,” just like, say, Marie-Louise or Karl-Heinz. “Jean François” are two names, ie. “Jean” ist the first name and “François” is the middle name. It can be abbreviated “Jean F.”
JFP told me that a few years ago, he checked his birth certificate and found that he was, in fact, given two names: “Jean François”, without a hyphen. So he started using the spelling that was given at his birth.3 -
Extremely happy for JFP, he has worked so hard and so well for so long, and deserves such recognition. I wonder if he will speak to us commoners anymore, hyphen or not.4

There is a video of the induction ceremony.
But (much more importantly), not just JFP but Anette Lenz and Pierre di Sciullo were also dubbed Knights at the same time. Apologies to both for leaving them out of history as written by the victors of Typedrawers.2
