Fair enough -- my application is going to produce PostScript in the end
any way, and I was planning to use PS fonts, but I had a font dir that
contained both, when my app stumbled across this problem.

In a larger sense, though, shouldn't FT_Get_Postscript_Name just return
NULL if there is no name for a TTF font, rather than segfault?  Or is
this function still considered 'experimental' with TTF?
