I have little chance to use other office suites last decade, so cannot comment
which way is de facto standard these days. But without any doubt compatibility
should not depend on locale used on client's PC. E.g. I received document
created in Russian locale and fonts are mess on my English locale PC. IMHO
opinion, relying on font family specified in font file is the best approach.
Some foundries make fonts available as stylistic variants, others prefer to
define separate family name.</pre>
