Issue with getting the name of font

Question

While looking at the font props in the Acrobat Pro 2020 I get this weird behavior where for few fonts the name is "Family,Style" instead of "Family-style". The same happens when we read this value via the SDK

Its not isolated to Calibiri but for other fonts as well

Its also reporducible across different machines

Any insights/link to known issues is highly appreciated

Thanks

So basically, I will be replacing "," with a "-" yes?

And have you seen such similar data inconsistencies

No. As you were told, you can't predict what the internal font name will be based on the display name, or anything else. You have to get that name from the font itself.

Doesn't sound weird. Some fonts are like that, and some PDF generators do that. You can't assume the internal names will match any particular pattern, rule, or repository.
