@DNSB, just continuing that prior comment, note 2 things with PS fonts that I think preclude that being a factor:

PS fonts already don't have any spaces in their names by default. Not sure why, maybe because they're older and spaces in names was a concern back when they were new, but in any case, PS font names don't have spaces in them by default. For example, Avril Serif - Regular.ttf in PS would already be AvrilSerif-Regular.otf.
You can't embed PS fonts in a Word document. You can only embed TT fonts (which includes OpenType fonts with TrueType Outlines).

For those reasons, I would be surprised if the PS section has any bearing on this. But I'll happily embrace my being completely wrong if it provides a solution to this problem. :-)
