KacstTitleL is outline version of KacstTitle not its lighter weight, so
they are still different families, using the same “Preferred Family”
here will confuse applications since both have the same weight and style
making it near impossiple to install and use both at the same time.

“Preferred Family” is really just a fancier form of “Family Name” for
all practical purposes.
