Well, *that* was entertaining.  It almost works.  Except for MS Mincho.

For both FONT_FAMILY and FONT_PS_NAME, it advertises a Macintosh platform
name, Apple Roman encoding and language id 0x411, which is Microsoft's
language tag for Japanese(!).  At least Microsoft didn't re-use Apples 
language tags...

In the FONT_FAMILY string, I find a combined full-width latin and Han 
string while in the FONT_PS_NAME string, I find an ASCII string.

I think I'll add a check on the non-English names to see if they're at 
least Latin and prefer those over the non-Latin names.
