New version

First post has been updated with the latest version

This is a bugfix release mainly. I've created a workaround for the font naming issue that could occur with some fonts (not all!).

There was also a major issue with the batch file which I've corrected.

For those interested in the workaround, I have added an option that when enabled, the script will reopen the generated TTF file, rename the font, then generate a new TTF. It's an inelegant workaround at best, and I'm not all that happy with it, but unless the cause of the bug can be tracked down, there's not a lot I can think of to do better.

The problem seems to lie in the fontforge provided font.appendSFNTName() method. It simply isn't appending/replacing data like it should in some fonts.
