[OpenFontLibrary] Please use local() with PostScript name as the first src alternative

I noticed that the CSS snippets offered for copying and pasting aren't  
optimized for users who have the font installed locally.

Please include the PostScript name of the font face in local() as the  
first alternative in src. This way users who already have the font  
installed locally don't need to wait for it to download.

Like this (copying from my own style sheet):
@font-face {
	font-family: "Linux Biolinum";
	font-weight: bold;
	font-style: normal;
	src: local("LinBiolinumB"), url("../fonts/libertine/4.4.1/ 
Biolinum_Bd-0.4.1.otf.gz") format("opentype"), url("../fonts/libertine/ 
4.4.1/Biolinum_Bd-0.4.1.ttf.gz") format("truetype");
}
