Description
The following PostScript names are present in font files from the Google Fonts API (https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts), but are not present in this repo. Some are missing entirely (e.g. Changa, see #1090) and some just have mismatching PostScript names (e.g. Corben Regular has the PostScript name `Corben-Regular` in this repo and `Corben` in Google Fonts).

It also seems like PostScript names for individual fonts have changed over time. For example, the PostScript name for Ubuntu Regular is now `Ubuntu-Regular`, but it used to be just `Ubuntu`. Many applications use the PostScript name to uniquely identify fonts so changing it is problematic. Please consider keeping them constant to minimize disruption.
