Pretty much, still would be better use the font family so
people with
saner replacements can use their superior fonts instead the
ugly ones...

I doubt a subtitle decoder will use a tag from the container
to decide
which font(s) to use. The tag is more intended to keep track
of dependancies
without having to look into codec specific data.

Like for example in the case of an application deciding what
fonts to include
in an uploaded file.
