Hello Hans,

I agree that spaces are tricky, but XeTeX does require those spaces
for example\footnote{Yes, yes, I know what you wanted to repy about
XeTeX. I would rename the font as well, but on the other hand being
able to use the same definition for bothe engines is only a benefit.}.
As long as the syntax is clear:
    [file:Some Name With Spaces]
this should be accepted in my opinion. If you store font names without
spaces and dashes in database, it might make sense to strip the name
in a similar manner here before trying to access the database and ask
it to give back the font.
