(When writing back-art, I noticed that the font system is rather picky
about what values you give it (in particular, returning nil for unknown
fonts caused crashes). At the time, I just made it work, but back-art's
font handling is scheduled for a big cleanup (once I'm done with
compositing). I'll try to send a list of issues and questions to the
list soon.)

Anyway, my point is that I don't think it's worth fixing other things
until the basic NSFont stuff works properly :).
