Not sure on the exact font name, but it should be extracting AeroDB 
Eclipse (which is in the mkv file). Which is why it gives this error:
[ass] fontconfig: Selected font family is not the requested one: 
'Verdana' != 'AeroDB Eclipse'
As it is selecting the default Verdana instead of what font is listed 
in the embedded ASS file. The one it is successfully extracting is the 
one used for the romaji in the opening, named Flora.

fontconfig doesn't do the font extracting anyway I don't think. 
Although I just updated to very latest release version of fontconfig 
(2.4.2) and it now works. This is odd though why it would only get get 
the first font (I guessed it was only the first as it makes no sense to 
extract one from the middle).
