Bug Description

On Mac OS X, the PostScript name of the font is used to identify it.

In the 0.5 release the Bold and Regular weight have the same font name: subsequently, OS X is not able to install both simultaneously.

It’s currently:

 PostScript-naam NewsCycle
 Volledige naam News Cycle
 Familie News Cycle
 Stijl Regular

 PostScript-naam NewsCycle
 Volledige naam News Cycle
 Familie News Cycle
 Stijl Bold

For example, see Charis SIL:

 PostScript-naam CharisSIL
 Volledige naam Charis SIL
 Familie Charis SIL
 Stijl Regular

 PostScript-naam CharisSIL-Bold
 Volledige naam Charis SIL Bold
 Familie Charis SIL
 Stijl Bold

thanks,
