I do not know of "RoyT.TrueType", but I am opposed to adding another requirement when the "issue" could be solved internally in a cross platform nature. |

The Bitstream font styles may not work due to non-standard font style names. Refer to MonoGame/MonoGame#7993

…ndows - use specific ttf files instead of relying on installed fonts. https://community.monogame.net/t/fontdescriptionprocessor-had-unexpected-failure/18110/3 Also note that installed fonts don't work properly on windows since it is unable to resolve the unique 'styles' that Bitstream Vera Sans Mono has (refer to monogame pull request 7993). Using ttf directly avoids all these issues. MonoGame/MonoGame#7993

Implements #4149 by parsing TrueType fonts to extract their font family and font sub family (style) names.
The content pipeline speed is not affected much, since TrueType fonts parsing is quite simple and super fast. The font family is already filtered on using information in the Windows registry.
There are many more font sub families in fonts. Calibri for instance has Light, Light Italic and Bold Italic. The Bahnschrift font in Windows has even more: Condensed, SemiCondensed, SemiBold, etc... It might make sense to treat the Style property as a string instead of an enum with fixed values.
