Thanks.

The Verdana Bold Italic has a "z" at the end of the file name.
The Vera Sans Mono Bold Italic a "bi".
Still, sounds like something that can easily be caught...
The real headaches would be fonts whose filename ends with 'b', but
do not refer to a bold font :/
Some names have the "bold" (or the German "kursiv") as a single
word, surrounded with space. Some have it inside a word, without
any Space.
There's no real system.
Maybe it's not so much a 'system', but more a set of conventions. The
filename suffixes maybe different between fonts, but the differences
are the same regardless of the language. The names of the fonts are
localized, so I would definitely not use those ...

I have to find a way to let a user install fonts. It would have
been nice to just import all the known TTF from his system.
Yeah, it would rock! :)
As a heads-up: Efforts are ongoing in that direction, no timeline,
but high on our wish-list as well.
Cheers,
Andreas
