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)
Maybe we need the "effective fontnames".
