OK, so now we know that as well as its plain text name, 
BrushScriptX-Italic is also known to TeX as "pbsi8t".  A quick search 
using Voidtools 'Everything' reveals that TeX Live 2021 contains, in 
addition to the aforementioned, t1pbsi.fd, pbsi.sty, pbsi8t.vf, 
pbsi8t.tfm, pbsi8r.tfm, pbsi.tfm, pbsi.map and config.pbsi.  Strangely, 
it does /not/ contain "t1pbsi.sty", wherein Boris found a reference to 
"pbsi.fd", and indeed my entire 32TB disc farm does not contain a file 
of that name, nor does it contain Boris' "pbsi.fd".  Perhaps these are 
specific to Unix installations — I wot not.

So, might it be an idea to augment the LaTeX Font Catalogue to give the 
TeX-specific names for the listed fonts, as well as their canonical names ?
