In that case, it seems most likely that it is a naming difference between the Windows and Mac versions of the font. It doesn't need to be much - any change will lead the app to think it is dealing with a different font. You could probably use FontLab or Fontographer to adjust the naming to match exactly, but you would be better off getting the correct version for Windows, if there is one. As you've found, "home" conversions from one format to another can lead to inconsistencies in the metrics. 

Cheers, Dominic 

PS. There may well be licensing issues associated with the use or conversion of the font. Check the documentation.
