Are you saying the difference in names is "SIL Ezra" vs. "Ezra SIL" ? That's too confusing! When I gave the URL, I checked that it was referring to an "OpenType" font --and since it was OpenType, I assumed that it was the newer version with a Unicode CMAP. If SIL still has links to legacy non-Unicode versions of fonts which now also have Unicode versions, then they should make this really clear to people.
