Full name for regular style should not require including “Regular”

See original GitHub issue

With Mada-Regular.ttf I get:

ERROR    [FULL_FONT_NAME:WINDOWS] entry: expected 'Mada-Regular' or 'Mada Regular' but got 'Mada'

But the spec says:

Full font name; a combination of strings 1 and 2, or a similar human-readable variant. If string 2 is “Regular”, it is sometimes omitted from name ID 4.

@khaledhosny you said the spec used to mention this? Have you got a link for that?

I can’t find any links to the old version on MS site, but the change log says name id 4 description was updated in version 1.9 in 2009, so here is a link from the wayback machine. Interestingly the exception is mentioned is for CFF fonts, so even if we were to follow the old spec, this should be done for fonts with CFF table only not the ones with glyf table (fontbakery does not even seem to support fonts with CFF table).
