Comment(by cmbarton):

 OK. That means we need to use the font names in the manual or find a
 Python command that will reveal the names of any installed PS fonts.

 The code that is breaking here is trying to use the PS font name as a
 TrueType font to estimate the size of the text box for placement in the
 graphical page representation. This won't work. It only seemed to work
 because of the fact that some TrueType fonts and some PS fonts have the
 same name.

 So we need a different way to estimate the size of the text box.
