1880561 - Collect the missing fonts on the platform

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: Text, enhancement)

Description

[Tom Ritter [:tjr]]

We have a hardcoded list of fonts that should be available on all installs for specific platforms. If a user is missing one of those fonts, it will stand out as unique.

There's different ways to address this, we should ship fonts down (if licenses allow), further restrict the font list... But to better understand what we're dealing with we need to know if a user is actually missing any of the fonts that are in our font list.

We just lost a Data Steward to the layoffs, so I'll just take them on for now. In the future, feel free to choose any steward from the list.
