I don't like that WPF uses the CSS model as the basis for font family groupings. It's a huge improvement over the existing Windows GDI model, to be sure. But it means that members of a "family" must all differ on one or more of weight, width and slope. So for example a family with an "inline" face gets that split into a separate family in WPF. Or a family with four optical sizes ends up as four families.

Again, it's a massive improvement over the Windows OS status quo. It just isn't as good as what Adobe applications have been doing for the last ten years or so, is all.

Cheers,

T
