Description

The home page suggests that font family names with spaces do not need quotes. However, on macOS, font families like Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono Regular require double quotes ("...") around the name, or else they silently fail to resolve.

Update the wording so the quoting requirement is accurate, then verify that the example and surrounding explanation no longer suggest unquoted names always work.
