Ok, good, I'm glad that I'm on the right page here. It looks like pango does not give the proper family name (please feel free to tell me otherwise if you know it is supposed to), so we will either need to find something else that can do this, or implement it ourselves. I assume the latter makes the most sense. I believe this is, relatively speaking, the only complex aspect of this task.

AFAIK, pango relies on some other libraries for fonts, and you may try to access those libraries - perhaps they provide more detailed or less monolithic information. Richard is a much better expert on these libraries than me, so he may suggest something.
