There's a fundemental conflict in font selection between selecting font
styles using string style names and using regular/bold roman/italic
booleans.  As many font families are available in more than 4 styles, it
may make some sense to allow users to select styles based on their string
names.  

Of course, this requires l10n of the style names.  I'm currently
contemplating how to present the available multilingual family and style
names from TrueType fonts to applications; suggestions on that front would 
be welcome.
