There is only one font family in the vicinity, namely Bookman.
Its base font is Bookman-Medium and its italic font is Bookman-MediumItalic.
What you are asking for is for Bookman Light to be a family.  You
could get this yourself by fiddling with file lout/data/fontdefs.ld,
I believe.

I wonder whether anyone else thinks that Bookman Light (and similar
things) ought to be in their own family?
