Yes, I've had to use FontCreator on some of my custom fonts to tweak internal naming.

That may possibly be why system font Avenir Next isn't working properly in v3.11. Can't use FontCreator to fix system fonts, though. However the font in question was sideloaded Charis SIL. I haven't had any internal naming issues with this one. JSWolf's modified version of Charis has worked OK in every firmware version I've used, from v2.5 onwards.
