Wrong font names

Examples:
I have BitStream ITC Zapf Chancery with these four faces:
Medium
Medium Italic
Demi
Bold
But the KDE Font Selector lists:
Regular
Italic
Demi Bold
Demi Bold Italic
Bold
Bold Italic
IMHO, it is OK to call the standard face: "Regular" ONLY if it doesn't
have a name. If it does have a name why shouldn't that be used. Also,
the two simulated "Italic" faces are properly called: "Oblique".
And, is there a way to turn OFF the the manufactured Oblique faces?
Then there is ITC Bookman. I have installed these four faces:
Light
Light Italic
Demi
Demi Italic
But the KDE Font Selector lists:
Light
Light Italic
Regular
Regular Italic
Yes, Demi should be the default face if there is no "Medium" or "", but
why does it have to change the name?
What is the problem? FontConfig lists these correctly, so is it Qt or
KDE that is screwing this up? Is it a bug that should be reported?
