Screen captures of drop down font list

Some font has multiple font names.
For example, “MS Gothic” is Microsoft’s Japanese major fonts.
And it has two names, one is English name,”MS Gothic”,
and another is "MS ゴシック" (multibyte characters).

On AOO 4.1.1 mac, the only English font name is on drop down font list.
On AOO 4.1.1 win, the only Japanese font name is on drop down font list.

This cause a problem about compatibility between Windows and MacOS.
A document saved by mac has English font name.
When open the document on Windows, AOO recognize that there is no
desired font on system, and use alternative font.
This may brake document layout.

The IPA font family is major open sourced Japanese fonts in Japan,
and which is used to keep compatibility across platforms.
But AOO 4.1.0 and later, we are excluded from the benefit of IPA font.
(On AOO 4.0.1 mac, both font names are on drop down font list)

Here are details in the concrete taking IPA font for example.
= AOO 4.0.1 mac’s drop down font list (show Japanese name and English name)
 - IPA Pゴシック   (Japanese font name of “IPAPGochic”)
 - IPA P明朝      (Japanese font name of “IPAPMincho”)
 - IPAexGothic
 - IPAexMincho
 - IPAexゴシック   (Japanese font name of “IPAexGothic”)
 - IPAex明朝      (Japanese font name of “IPAexMincho”)
 - IPAGothic
 - IPAMincho
 - IPAPGothic
 - IPAPMincho
 - IPAゴシック     (Japanese font name of “IPAGochic”)
 - IPA明朝        (Japanese font name of “IPAMincho”)
= AOO 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 mac’s drop down font list (show English name only)
 - IPAexGothic
 - IPAexMincho
 - IPAGothic
 - IPAMincho
 - IPAPGothic
 - IPAPMincho
= AOO 4.1.1 win’s drop down font list (show Japanese name only)
 - IPA Pゴシック   (Japanese font name of “IPAPGochic”)
 - IPA P明朝      (Japanese font name of “IPAPMincho”)
 - IPAexゴシック   (Japanese font name of “IPAexGothic”)
 - IPAex明朝      (Japanese font name of “IPAexMincho”)
 - IPAゴシック     (Japanese font name of “IPAGochic”)
 - IPA明朝        (Japanese font name of “IPAMincho”)

P.S.
Font replacement table may be workaround, but not fundamental solution.
