TTF/OTF does not seem to work here (tested with Windows Internet
Explorer 8.0.6001.18702 running on Windows XP SP 3).

I did not install the font on the OS and I ended up with "System default
font" rendering for all the lines.

Perhaps IE is loosely matching the string "ucnobi" in the middle of test
font name and used the font installed on the OS... Could you prepare a
testcase that uses e.g. "test.ttf" as the font filename and "test" as
the font-family name?
