These choices date back to when the version of RMSDK used by Kobo sucked at introspecting fonts.

DNSB, you're right - you do need to make that change on the PS Names tab, even for the TT version of the font. But as you can see in the screen shots I attached above, that doesn't matter: even when it's all set correctly there with no spaces for for Fontname, Family Name, or Name For Humans, Calibre still adds in the spaces.
Specifically, what Calibre is doing is putting the Family Name, then a space, then a hyphen, then another space, then the Style (SubFamily). If Calibre were to use the Fullname instead (that's what you can set as "Name For Humans" on the PS Names tab), we could control it via the font editors (exactly as you've described), but Calibre doesn't do this.
Please, if you think I am mistaken on any of this, let me know. I'd much rather be wrong and have a solution than be right and stuck.
Thanks,
