Fonts: a missing roman font is drawn in Cambria, as in Word (#1613)

WordCraft chose a substitute for a font that isn't installed from its
name alone, so an unknown brand font always came out sans. Word reads the
font table instead: measured with the same missing font, it draws it in
Cambria when w:family is roman and in Calibri when it is swiss or auto.
A report whose font table calls its brand font roman got a sans footer
where Word draws serif.

The font table's roman fonts are read into the settings, and layout looks
a missing one up as Cambria (Caladea where Cambria isn't installed). The
other classes keep the existing substitutes, which already start with
Calibri's metric clone.
