Great: you've fixed it for you, but we'd like to fix it for everyone, too.

It shouldn't have been set explicitly in the cdxml in the first place, in which 
case 
the default font would have been used. But we do need to revisit what happens 
when 
FontName gets set to a nonexistent font on the given system.

On one hand, it makes sense to raise the font exception, because the appdev 
code is 
explicitly setting a font that doesn't exist (the appdev deployment code should 
be 
responsible for making sure all needed fonts are available).

On the other hand, it usually isn't that big a deal to substitute with existing 
fonts, in which case we'd want to issue a MissingFontWarning.

Can you commit a modified mover.cdxml with all font face references removed 
(pending 
Ed's approval, of course)?
