I'm with Jody here. The mapping algorithm has 2 parts: a fixed, reproducible one, and a second part driven by user preferences. We should not impose the font alias preferences of the author of the document in the reader of the document. In addition, nothing forces the reader to have the "mapped" font in his system. So, when this information becomes useful in the reading of the document? I don't see it useful at all.
