Can you get the spaces stuck back into the family name?  If so, then juse 
use:

	Times New Roman:style=italic

and Xft will happily locate the right font.

If this isn't possible, then we could extend the current family matching 
algorithm to ignore white space, or at least families which differ only in 
whitespace match better than familes which don't match at all.
