It was the "behave strangely" bit that I disagreed. I think they
behave flawlessly in most case, despite they are uncommon for
non CJK fonts.

To my knowledge, this is not that common. The only oddities
I know are SimSun/SimHei (the default Chinese fonts for
Win9x,Win2x) which contain a non-Latin PS font name;
but their TTF name table have names for both Chinese and
English.
