It is very nice to implement a datasource for font list.
Making a datasource for font list, which allows us to use RDF-Template for slow
font prefs panel now implemented while-looped JavaScript code. It might
simplifies and speeds font prefs, and we can create new widgets using font list
more easily.

Confirming.  This may need to go to another component.

Throwing this one up into the air. This for sure doesn't belong into RDF.
It smells like GFX, but it sounds like a really bad idea to make gfx depend on 
rdf. Not sure if "Layout: Fonts and Text" is any closer.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

I'm resolving this as WONTFIX since mozilla is moving away from RDF as fast as possible.
