Any news regarding that effort?


There _have_ to be a way to identify the style and weight.

How does the OS know how to choose which font file? When it uses
the supplied subfamilies it has to "guess".

I've found the following subfamilies: 

Bold
Bold Italic
Bold Oblique
Demibold
Demibold Italic
Demibold Roman
Extra Bold
Heavy
Italic
Light
Light Italic
Medium
Oblique
Regular
Roman
Ultra Bold


Is it really just guesswork?

(Substring)     
Italic, Oblique = Style Italic
Bold, Heavy     = Weight Bold

Other = normal
