So yes, there are two problems with font names: 1) What to use as the unique identifying string for a specific face. Adam and others have neatly summed up this conundrum. 2) What to use as the family level string. The latter is problematic if you want all individual fonts within your family to differ only by weight/stretch/style (in the CSS sense of the words), and also have all faces that differ only by w/s/s to be within the same family. Even if you accomplish that task, you will be banishing faces considered to be part of the same family by users and typographers to separate families, or making them not invokable. Regards, T
