Well, this font doesn't have a /FamilyName entry!  So why should
FreeType lie to you?  It does synthesize a family name for the
top-level structure, but if you explicitly retrieve data from the PS
font dictionary, I think it's best if you get correct values.

I've slightly improved the documentation of `FT_Get_PS_Font_Info' to
mention this.
