jQuery can't correctly handle font names that end with a number

Description
This is a weird behavior, and an admittedly limited use case, but:
If you try to change an element's font-family css attribute using jQuery, and the font-family you are specifying ends in something other than a letter, it doesn't work.
For instance, this works:
$('h1').css('font-family','Helvetica');
This, however, will not:
$('h1').css('font-family','Goudy Bookletter 1911');
jQuery just won't perform the function. The selected element retains whatever font-family has been assigned by other means.
I've tested it with the console, and can verify this is the case in both 1.4.2 and 1.5.

I'm sorry - I didn't supply enough examples, and that seems to have clouded the issue. The example I should have left was:
These work:
$('h1').css('font-family','Helvetica');
$('h1').css('font-family','Times New Roman');
$('h1').css('font-family','Courier New');
These do not:
$('h1').css('font-family','Goudy Bookletter 1911');
$('h1').css('font-family','Another font name!#2');
The enclosing of the font name, with or without spaces, works fine. It's only when the *font name ends in something other than a letter* that jQuery stops working.
Does that help?

It doesn’t help because you are misidentifying the issue and did not read what I already told you was the problem. Please see this test case demonstrating your problem. If you submit a bug report in the future, please include a test case like the one I just linked to.
Thanks for the report, but this is not a jQuery bug. If you are specifying a font family with spaces in it, you must enclose it in quotes. If this is still a problem, please reply with a working test case as per the bug reporting guidelines that are linked on the home page of the bug tracker. Otherwise, please use the jQuery Forum for support requests.
