           Summary: ER: Ignore vendor names in font family lookup
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 417.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: contact at nickshanks.com


Say a website specifies the following CSS:
h1 { font-family: "Century", "Garamond", serif; }

And the user has the following fonts installed:
Apple Garamond BT
Adobe Garamond
New Century Schoolbook

The initial search for a font matching "Century" will fail, as it ought to. However so will the search for 
Garamond. I believe instead one of the two Garamonds installed should be matched. This can be 
achieved by having a second font list stripped of all vendor names, which would be searched after 
exhausting all named families, before resorting to the generic "serif". Likewise, the common terms "Std" 
and "Pro" could be removed, allowing "Stone Serif" to match "ITC Stone Serif Pro" for example.
