Although the spec: interface (in addition to file: and name:) has 
fallback heuristics, simplefonts is more clever and does more extensive 
testing, But as with all heuristics, you can never be 100% sure what you 
get so in critical long term projects you can best use names or filename 
(and keep the files someplace backed up). It all depends on the situation.
