Fontforge reports:
 Fontname: LinotypeAroma-Bold
 Family Name: LTAroma
 Name For Humans: Linotype Aroma Bold


What doesn't make sense is on some mkvs (of the same series) one file
will work and another won't.

I've extracted the script with mkvextract, manually changed the styles,
remuxed, and found:

-Using the 'Name For Humans' doesn't work
-Using the 'Fontname' doesn't work
-Oddly enough, using the 'Family Name' does work on the affected episodes.


Whatever it's using to locate the correct font is apparently not
working. These fonts are also installed globally as well as in the mkv
itself, so you'd think it'd find one of them.
