Oops, if the strange font is bundled to Mac OS X, please let me know
which font is it, I want to check it. According to TrueType font spec:
http://developer.apple.com/fonts/TTRefMan/RM06/Chap6name.html
it's noted that "A font may have only one PostScript name and that
name must be ASCII." I've ever heard about fonts with UCS-2 encoded PS
fontnames, and some half-baked TTF making tools write null string
to the PS font name entry. But I cannot think Apple distributes broken
fonts with Mac OS X...
