I was trying to be careful to use 'name' to cover all instances of textual
data provided by the font and expected to be presented to the user, but I
admit to constant conflation between family name and 'name'.

I think the only difference may be that documents will more often encode 
family names than style names, but otherwise they're pretty much 
equivalent.

Oh, in the world of full face names, do you need to be able to match (not 
list, but match) fonts based on full name?  It seems likely, but I wanted 
to check as that may take some thought...
