bug#58328: 28.2; can't select MacOS "System Font" using set-fontset-font

[Michael Norrish]

As per the exchange at 

  
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/431620/how-to-determine-which-font-is-being-used-to-render-a-specific-character-in-term

I am able to paste the subscripts into TextEdit, and when I move my cursor to 
the relevant character, it tells me that I'm using something called "System 
Font".

    There is no font named "System Font" on my Mac.  You can use Font Book
    to see what fonts you have.  Does it work with one of the fonts shown in
    Font Book?
