it should only list one font, Terminus, with lots of styles (Regular, Medium,
Bold, Bold Italic, etc)

However, that’s not an unexpected result of conversion from a legacy format.

Legacy formats have very poor (everything, but especially) naming support.
Converting to SFNT will usually involve fixing the naming layer (Name ID 16/17,
using WWS rules, and Name ID 4, as Family + Style except for regular for which
is named Family not family Regular).

That’s probably something that could be scripted using fontforge’s python
bindings.
