The glyph names in Fontographer are given internally in its STR#400.
It is not difficult to either edit this, or to leave it alone,
renumbering it as STR#401, and introducing a corrected

Adam, I know FontLab is more focused o FontLab Studio than on
Fontographer, but there are at least some of us who use both. I
cannot draw in FontLab. Its interface is, well, just not something I
can use. I can draw splendidly and productively in Fontographer. Then
I use FontLab to process my fonts, and add OT tables, and so on. One
of the recurrant problems however is the lack of identity between the
encodings used. Every time I open a Mac Roman Fog-generated font, for
instance, the MIDDLE DOT is duplicated and the HYPHEN is triplicated,
both sets of characters marked out in red. This DOES affect
productivity.

It would not be difficult to sort this out. It would take a bit of
effort and care.
