This is https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105298, I had a stap at it recently on https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/155455, but it is a complicated issue since macOS have no way of giving us the names we need for windows compatibility, and if we start to read the font name ourselves (like in the change above), more system API become useless (e.g. if we ask for font fallback, we will get names that is different from what we now have on our font list).

I have some ideas to how to handle this, if you are still interested.

Regards,
Khaled
