The fonts available from
http://www.i-love-epson.co.jp/download2/printer/driver/win/page/ttf30.htm
are buggy. It has a Windows Japanese family name (name id 1.3.1.0411) 
and a Apple Roman family name (name id 1.1.0.0). However, the Apple 
Roman family name has Japanese contents. This information should 
actually be under 1.1.1.0 (Apple Japanese family name). So this is a bug 
in the font.

Also, this font does not include a Windows U.S. English PostScript font 
name (name id 6.3.1.0409), which is a requirement of the OpenType 
specification. This is a bug in the font.

Finally, the font does not include any Windows U.S. English name strings 
at all. This is not a requirement, but is considered good practice.

Please feel free to forward my comments to the developers of the font.

Regards,
Adam
