I noticed that the name in the catalog is localized but the names in the fonts are abbreviated with initials, so eg for Vietnam the catalog name is Playwrite Việt Nam but the API name is Playwrite VN, and therefore where it says

Microsoft Word: Go to Format in the Menu bar, select Font, and then the Advanced tab. Activate "Contextual Alternates" and "Kerning for fonts below" to apply these settings to all text sizes.

LibreOffice: To select the different styles, go to Format in the Menu bar, select Character, and use the Typeface menu.

We could add before MS Word,

Google Docs and Slides: Go to More Fonts in the font drop down, search for "Playwrite VN" and click OK. If some text is already selected, the font choice will be applied to it.

And this should be unique to each ARTICLE file with the correct abbreviation.

This was discussed when adding the display_name to the fonts. This difference is visible in all the menus, so there is a paragraph that clarifies that.

We could add a subtitle like Font name in font menus

And I also added a small clarification on Libre Office instructions following this comment. It now says:

LibreOffice: In macOS, to select the different styles, go to Format in the Menu bar, select Character, and use the Typeface menu.
