Yes, that's how it works.

My concern was that in case there are multiple AvantGarde fonts
installed ("AvantGarde Bk BT" and "AvantGarde Md BT") both match equally
well to "AvantGardeITCbyBT-Book" or "AvantGardeITCbyBT-Medium" and then
just the first one found is chosen which of course is not guaranteed to
be the right one (cases 1 and 3 in the attached file; "AvantGarde Bk BT"
is chosen in both cases because it's the first best match found, while
it is only correct for case 1).

In case the pdf uses "AvantGardeBkBT" and "AvantGardeMdBT", as is the
case with the pdf created from PS via GhostScript, there is no problem
and the correct font is chosen (cases 2 and 4 in the attached file).

Yes, when it is specified in the pdf as the family name it is used as
is, else it will fully match the name of the installed font. Both these
cases are ok.

Was not sure if it we could live with these inaccuracies for now?
