Summary0011453: Non-latin font name is only displayed with ???
DescriptionI have a set of Japanese font from Epson installed
(Free download here: http://www.epson.jp/download2/printer/driver/win/page/ttf30.htm . Click on the url with ttf30.exe)

These fonts do not have latin names, but only Japanese. For instead, one font has the name EPSON ???????, but it is displayed as EPSON ??????????????a.

I guess the fonts only have some japanese encoding, not Unicode, therefore it won't work.

Please see the attached file.

We could indeed do better on Windows when searching font family name. FontConfig uses the internal name table and uses FreeType family name as a last resort:

in my estimation I've assigned this to 1.5.2 since CTL has a high probability of being merged, we'll most likely need this issue to work as well.
