Family Naming Robofont

$

Has anyone transitioned from FontLab to Robofont that previously used Karsten's Font Naming with FontLab and is there some type of translation? I had naming dialed with FontLab, but I'm having trouble getting the same results with Robofont. I want a naming convention that allows the individual weights to work together as a big family no matter how many styles there are.

I've tried diff. variations of this naming

General
Family Name: Example Regular
Style Name: Regular
Style Map Family Name: Example Regular

OpenType name Table
Preferred Family Name: Example
Preferred Subfmaily Name: Regular
Compatible Full Name: Example

Postscript
FontName: Example-Regular
FullName Example Regular
WeightName: Normal

With this example above the name takes on 'Example' instead of specifically being 'Example Regular' but all weights style-link as a family. The other variants of this naming ended up splitting all the styles into individual non style-linked fonts or still would have the indivdual fonts have the generic family name 'Example' and not named appropriately.
