On OS X, using the pdf backend, I get the exception "RuntimeError: TrueType font is missing table" when running examples/fonts_demo_kw.py, because ttconv is trying to load /System/Library/Fonts/Times.dfont as a TrueType font, which it of course is not.
A simple solution would be to limit the font searching algorithm to only look for files matching *.ttf, but that would unnecessarily limit the Agg-based backends, since freetype does understand and render dfont files. The best solution would be to implement dfont support in the pdf backend, but I have no idea how complicated that would be. What would be a reasonable interim solution? Perhaps the font manager should identify the file type of each font file it knows about, so e.g. the pdf backend could request a list of just the TrueType fonts.
