Comment 2 Henry Stiles 2016-09-07 16:11:34 UTC 
URW has reported a fix will be available by the end of the month.
Comment 3 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2017-07-13 05:36:05 UTC 
In the latest drop from URW++:

The missing space in the NimbusSans-Bold /FamilyName value has been corrected.

NimbusSans-BoldOblique still has:
/FullName (Nimbus Sans Bold Italic)

and

NimbusSans-Oblique still has:
/FullName (Nimbus Sans Italic)
Comment 4 Henry Stiles 2017-07-20 08:34:11 UTC 
From URW:

I have attached a zip file with corrections for name entries. It includes TTF,OTF,T1 and AFM.
I have also the name entries consistently to Italic (instead of Oblique).
I have included P052 Bold Italic too, since this font had a wrong Weight entry.


The zip (URW_core_Update_2017_07_20.zip) is in my home directory on casper.
