* nsIFontList. The style system uses the nsFont struct for various font
* properties, one of which is font-family, which can contain a *list* of
* font names. The nsFont struct is "realized" by asking the device context
* to cough up an nsIFontMetrics object, which contains a list of real font
* handles, one for each font mentioned in font-family (and for each fallback
* when we fall off the end of that list).
*
* The style system needs to have access to certain metrics, such as the
* em height (for the CSS "em" unit), and we use the first Western font's
* metrics for that purpose. The platform-specific implementations are
* expected to select non-Western fonts that "fit" reasonably well with the
* Western font that is loaded at Init time.
