@YtotheWT thank you for reporting—could you share some more details?

  • Which Windows version are you on?
  • What app are you getting the screenshot from?
  • Did you install the variable version, or the static version?

  1. Windows 11 22H2.
  2. For different variants, should show corresponding variant names (like "Light Condensed", etc.).
  3. Variable.

@YtotheWT thank you! And What app are we looking at in the screenshot? What's the screenshot from? 🙏

Font preview in Windows Setting.

I confirm this is a problem, not just on Windows, but on Microsoft Word for macOS. Font Book on macOS seems to show all the variants, though.

I observed the same issue when installing the single file "Mona Sans/Mona-Sans.ttf" from Settings > Personalization >Fonts. If I instead install the 48 TTF files in "Mona Sans/TTF", the font variations have the correct names in Windows.

This is happening because the font Axis Value Tables is empty.

Windows/GDI create name from those Axis Value, so since it is empty, it give the default name which is regular to all of those InstanceRecord
