Yes, we can always add that, but allowing that requires changes in 
other parts of the program anyway, so would not be advisable for this 
release. As I wrote earlier I added some test code to add substituted 
fonts to the list, but selecting these entries would result in the 
usual "please enter the name of an installed font" error, so the font 
apply check would need to be relaxed to allow applying a non-existing 
font. Not a big deal but we need to look at this when things are more 
relaxed.
