 * 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.
