Hmm.  AFAIK, this has been fixed already.  Trying with ftdump from
current git (which is essentially 2.4.7), I see

  > ftdump arialn.ttf
  There is 1 face in this file.

  ----- Face number: 0 -----

  font name entries
     family:     Arial Narrow
     style:      Regular
     postscript: ArialNarrow

  ...

I've tested this with Arial Narrow 2.35.

Since I don't use Windows I have no access to those fonts...
