- Some documents [mostly from Windows NT 3] are in local codepage, but use plain font names, as 'Times New Roman' instead of tagged 'Times New Roman Cyr'. So it's safe to assume that if document has untagged name, but no tagged, that font has local encoding instead of CP1252.
- Old interface allowed to set replacement typeface name to something other than truncated tagged name. It was useful.
- If there's an authentic Write document, using codepage different from 1252, 1251 or 1250, with corresponding standard font typefaces, we can include additional tags in the list, but no sooner.
- If using of some class like string or map is a problem, I agree it should be fixed. Is it?
