Re: the new simplefonts stuff

[Keith McKay <mckaymeister@gmail.com>]

Wolfgang's wee bit of code is brilliant for finding out the details of 
font names.  The icing on the cake would be if it printed the details in 
its own font so we could see what it looked like.

But in any case a useful bit of code.  Thanks Wolfgang.

Best Wishes
