Re: Fix, NSFont, XGFont (was RTFConsumer)

[Fred Kiefer]

Most of this patch looks fine for me. What is missing is the special 
handling now needed for the getNSFont() function. Here we should make 
sure, that we always return a usefull font. As the only font we can be 
sure about is the user font in the default size we should return this, 
if any font is missing here. Not returning any font here will screw up 
the system as we always expect the font attribute to be set to usable value.
