Trouble is, it's not a "generic LaTeX" question, in that the whole idea
of supporting font (and file) names with spaces in them, by means of
allowing them to be enclosed in quote marks, is a XeTeX extension.
AFAIK, other TeX engines don't provide this.
So if the underlying \font syntax we're using is non-standard, we can
hardly be surprised that LaTeX doesn't support it!
