I'm surprised font name is reported for FAMILY - leaving aside the Apple
oddity of it
being the postscript name.
Maybe a bug there but most apps will call getFamily() for that.
The attributes such as WEIGHT really should be populated.
I think that'll only be populated if you create a font specifying BOLD.
Same for POSTURE & ITALIC.
Width is one that would be useful too ..
If you'd like to file a bug it may be a good candidate to fix as it
would help
apps choose fonts more intelligently.

Object o = attributeMap.get(TextAttribute.WEIGHT);

The only attributes with non-null values are the family (which is
wrong, it is the font name, e.g. Lato-Black) and the size (which is 1,
as expected).
I know that other information is available, but is there a way to get
it using public APIs?
If not, why not?
