Replacing font table in RichTextBox (WinForms)

I'm working on a .NET Framework 4.8 app that uses WinForms and in there,

RichTextBox

RichTextBox

is used.

The app has a list of supported fonts, so we made an algorithm that sorts out unknown fonts when you type or paste text with fonts that are not on the list. If an unknown font ist detected every character having an unknown font will be set to a default font from that list.

Now, somebody copied a text from a pdf and pasted it into a richtext box.
The fonts in the table are

Times New Roman

Times New Roman

TimesNewRoman

TimesNewRoman

TimesNewRoman,Bold

TimesNewRoman,Bold

. So the algorithm (correctly) detects

TimesNewRoman

TimesNewRoman

TimesNewRoman,Bold

TimesNewRoman,Bold

as unknown and tries to replace those. But in reality, it didn't do anything because the text didn't contain characters with one of those two fonts, thus leaving the two unknown fonts in the fonttable.

I collected the fonts actually contained in the text with

IEnumerable<string> actualFonts = new List<string>();

for (int i = 0; i < riText.TextLength; i++)
{
  riText.Select(i, 1);
  actualFonts.Add(riText.SelectionFont.FontFamily.Name);
}

IEnumerable<string> actualFonts = new List<string>();

for (int i = 0; i < riText.TextLength; i++)
{
  riText.Select(i, 1);
  actualFonts.Add(riText.SelectionFont.FontFamily.Name);
}

...and in there, I got 3x

Microsoft Sans Serif

Microsoft Sans Serif

(different font sizes) and 2x

Times New Roman

Times New Roman

(different font sizes). I'm a bit lost here. Manually replacing the fonttable doesn't work. What can I do?
