If you go to TTF Names panel in the same window, delete "Preferred
Family", "Preferred Styles" and "Compatible Full" entries, right click
on "Styles (SubFamily)" and select "Same as PostScript Names" (the later
is not strictly need but good to have), then generate the font (make
sure OpenType is selected in the Options sub window of font generation
dialog) and you are done. And while at it, may be you can contact the
authors to fix the buggy names.

 Khaled
