Figure out GOOD truetype fontnames...

Using X font generator (not very usable)
  (cd dir; ttmkfdir) | grep '^font.ttf'

The Abiword tool seems to be very good...
  /usr/lib/AbiSuite/bin/ttftool -f font.ttf -p /dev/fd/1

Compare the "/FullName"  and "/FamilyName" output, ignoring string "Regular".
Do not use "/FontName" as a space fault was found in font "optanb.ttf".
And a number of extra "tags" was also seen, EG:  "ArialMT"
or even "TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT" (from "timesbd.ttf").
