Issues with Freight Sans Compressed naming structure and tabular lining settings.

Freights Sans Compressed is showing up with two different naming structures, splitting the font into two separate versions. For example I have Freight Sans Compressed Medium and FreightSansCmpPro Regular. This is causing issues sending files to clients where their fonts won’t synch correctly because their naming structure is consistent. 

I’ve tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting, new files, clear the adobe fonts cache, making sure I have no other version installed, pretty much everything you could think of.

I finally got it to be consistent (for the minute, it has changed back on reopeing the doc) in my current illustrator document, but it’s still messed up in Indesign. 

The other problem is that FreightSansCmpPro version’s tabular lining actually works, but the Freight Sans Compressed versions tabular lining does nothing. The default oldstyle lining looks awful and I’m having to manually adjust number by number. 

This is causing such a headache for me and my client, making my team look bad. This seems to be an issue on Abode Fonts end, does anyone have a magic solution here outside buying the official license vs using Adobe Fonts?
