This doesn't match anything, as there are no fonts installed on the
system called "Times New Roman Bold Italic".
Prince cannot map non-italic text to an italic local font. (You could do
it by specifying a URL source instead pointing to an italic font file,
but why would you? :)

Right, but in this case we don't know the coverage in advance, and we
want to avoid using the Symbol font unless there really is no glyph
found in the Times font, ie. we want a union that tries each font in
turn until it finds something.
Cheers,
Michael
