Re: [Freefont-bugs] New glyphs are unixxxx while other glyphs are uniXXXX.

You may do as you wish, of course.  And you need not reply to this, but lest I be misunderstood...

Hi,

Bob, the Adobe Glyph List is deprecated.  It has not been maintained,
as it was an unfortunate idea to begin with.

The link I gave refers both to the

• AGL (which, although not deprecated in the tradition sense, it is, by conscious decision, not being extended) and
• The Adobe Glyph List for New Fonts.

The latter is far from deprecated -- it is the standard way of naming glyphs for most type designers I know.

For their part, Microsoft and ISO both recommend names conform to the Adobe standard.
 

We largely ignore it (except for some of the names which were good
ideas individually).

Certainly your prerogative. But if one chooses this route, I'd question including any names at all in the finished font -- just move to post fmt3 table.

Cheers,
Bob
