I've added Issue 4876/5.
It parses CFF directly instead of using FreeType inner struct.

Issue 4876/5: Add directly parsing CFF for getting Postscript font name

FreeType 2.6 and 2.6.1 cannot get PS name from pure-CFF.
(FreeType 2.5.5 and earlier does not have this issue.
 FreeType 2.6.2+ has been fixed this issue.)
So we need directly parsing 'CFF' table, in this case.

** [issues:#4876] The wrong font name is embedded by using some OTF / OTC 
fonts**

If I understand correctly, this caused by FreeType 2.5.5 or earlier.

For example, if you use a non-Japanese (e.g. Chinese or Korean) font in 
NotoSansCJK.ttc ver. 1.004, FreeType 2.5.5 gets a Japanese postscript name.

Therefore, LilyPond might embed the fonts with wrong postscript name if you use 
FreeType 2.5.5 or earlier.
Even if the name is wrong, the glyphs are correct.

FreeType 2.6+ is fixed it.

For LilyPond official site's binaries:
  Current GUB uses FreeType 2.4.12.
  So I'm making the GUB's patch which update FreeType.

For others:
  Bump up required or recommended version of FreeType?
