Not sure how DirectWrite is involved as i'm running Linux.

Done. Bug 107485. But i'm a bit confused why it should show a localized name at
all, as when you open up the font name drop down, it always shows the english
name in the left column and i would assume the user cant type the localized
name of the font in the drop down to locate it.

Done. Bug 107484
