Variable file is also named "Sansita Swashed Light" - causes conflict in FontBase #6

Hi, it appears the variable version of Sansita Swashed is also named "Sansita Swashed Light" which I think is causing duplication problems in my font management software (FontBase)

sansita-variable

Is it possible to change the title to something like "Sansita Swashed Variable"?

Thank you!

Hi @alexcbruno the name corresponds to the parameter Variable Font Origin, which in this case is made up of two Masters: a Light Master and a Black Master, we decided to use Light for practical purposes. Let me check if we add an intermediate instance to avoid these conflicts, rename the parameter in the name table, or rename the Master from Light to Regular (this solution, although it is simpler, can complicate our workflow). Many thanks for the report.

Unfortunately, it is really irritating to resolve this issue, and IMO not worth it. The only proper solution would be to add a Regular Master and set that as the Origin. This is not normally an issue, unless one also installs the static instances of the font. I'm using FEX and don't have any problems.
