You would only mix the two if the url() did not have any variants, which 
is rare.

Prince is not doing any special here, it is simply refraining from 
munging the family name string. If you ask for bold "Times New Roman", 
then Prince will get all the "Times New Roman" fonts and choose the bold 
one, it won't go looking for "Times New Roman Bold" (or any of the 
synonyms for "Bold").

Cheers,

Michael
