Substyles are not supported. Only the four standard ones are.

So, generally, you'll want Regular, Bold, Italic & BoldItalic.

You *might* be able to actually use a different "base" weight (i.e., Thin or Medium instead of Regular), but it *might* require mangling the metadata and/or filenames.

----

What currently happens is that CRe walks over your folder in inode order, finds the first 4 fonts in a matching family, tries to figure out which is which (and generally fails for !Regular base weights), and calls it a day.
Since, instead of 4 exact styles, you have a crapload of stuff in there, you get a "controlled" random result ^^.
Check your crash.log, it'll be spouting quite a few warnings about discarding fonts.
