"Relay-MediumItalic.AFM" is not the name of the font -- it's the name of the
.AFM file of the font. InDesign uses the names of the font family and font
styling as encoded in the font files and displayed in the app.

InDesign defines the name of a font as FamilyName<tab>FontStyle. The thing
you have to watch out for is that, for missing fonts, one or more extra
spaces get added to the end of the family name. So you need to use a tab as
TID, then strip any trailing spaces off the family name.
