[xep-support] true type fonts not working

[Ryan Graham]

You were close, but they switch it up a little bit for the stylistic ones.
Here is how I have them in my fonts.xml file:

<font name="TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT" ttf="C:\WINNT\FONTS\TIMESBD.TTF"
embed="true" subset="true">
	<alias name="TimesNewRoman-Bold"/>
</font>
<font name="TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT" ttf="C:\WINNT\FONTS\TIMESBI.TTF"
embed="true" subset="true">
	<alias name="TimesNewRoman-BoldItalic"/>
</font>
<font name="TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT" ttf="C:\WINNT\FONTS\TIMESI.TTF"
embed="true" subset="true">
	<alias name="TimesNewRoman-Italic"/>
</font>

Those declarations should work for you.  Hope that helps out...

Thanks,
RG
