Hi,

This is a  a cross-platform-specific bug report, like the title says so.

And don't worry, a comment that a bug is a duplicate doesn't mean that your
comment will be rejected *if it is posted in the right place*.

Btw, please read some background information about nameIDs in font tables, like
:
https://glyphsapp.com/tutorials/naming

The "bugs" you found around nameID 2 are common tricks, thousands of fonts use
them. If LibreOffice doesn't handle correctly such fonts, LibreOffice has a bug
(not the fonts!).
