Querying the fontNames includes:
(Default)
(Styled Text)
(Menu)
(Text)
(Message)
(Tooltip)
(System)
These are not font names, but constants the engine accepts so that we
can have good-looking, HIG-savvy UIs on multiple platforms.
But they're not font names. They're not fonts at all. They're engine
directives.
So should they be included in the fontNames?
(Yes, I know I can exclude them. I've been doing this a while, I can do
lots of things. But if a newcomer wants to make a Fonts menu or list
she also needs to know the filter command, and why she needs to use it
to filter out things that aren't fonts. #learnability)
