MetaCard took 0, but seemed to do something strange with it. My system
font (Charcoal) didn't display right.
With the externals collection (maybe other xcmds as well) to run
AppleScripts, you could run the following to get the system font:
tell application "Appearance"
the system font of the current theme
end tell
Presumably that could be translated into an apple event, so you could do
it directly with MetaCard's built-in send command, but I've never
developed the skill of translating from applescript to apple events.
