Description
With the current platform API, it is very difficult to implement a Font Chooser.

It is not possible to use FontPosture and FontWeight, because
 1. if you have a given font, there is no way to find out what is its posture or its weight. This is the most important issue because you can't initialize the Font Picker choices for that given font.
 2. it's also not possible to find out which are the available postures and weights for that font family.
