More Font Support

Playing around with some Mac OS X fonts under Linux I noticed that LibreOffice wasn't listing a lot of them despite fontconfig announcing their existence. A little digging and some very small tweaks means that we now have mac ttf fontname encoding support along with support for version 2 ttc fonts. This is more fixing some oversights (version 2 of ttc came into existence after the ttc support was added so there was a "only if version is 1" condition) than implementing anything particularly new, but now LibreOffice under Linux works with a lot more ttf/ttc/otf fonts than it did before.
