I can accept that face->family_name is supposed to be ASCII, but fontconfig 
is entirely tolerant of UTF-8 and I'd really rather use those names; I
can't see how things are just going to work better in this case; we're 
ending up presenting '?' instead of valid characters, that doesn't seem 
useful.

FT_Get_Sfnt_Name works only with TrueType and OpenType fonts.  Do all other
formats support only ASCII names?
