Well the pdf should really be setting /FontFamily to Wingdings in the
font descriptor. However, this is not always done and so sometimes we
have to guess the family based on the name, but this should be used
second to the information in the font descriptor.

There is FC_FULLNAME, I am not sure what it all matches against though...
