    Description

      On windows we can not match font sub-family using styleName matching. This is because the windows fontdatabase only registers the base font-family, and not the preferred font-family.

      For instance a font like Roboto Light, would have base name "Roboto Light", but preferred family "Roboto" with preferred styleName "Light". The preferred names are however not read and registered on Windows.

      This works on Linux and OS X.
