Unrelated to this commit, but regarding fonts, FYI there is a unique
identifier inside TrueType/OpenType fonts, usually generated randomly
by the software writing the font. However font names may be adequate.
I don't know if the APIs provide any easy way to lookup a font by its
unique identifier and if it's only 32bit a name might have lower
probability of collisions (i.e. P(some random luser-installed font
collides with any standard font)).

P.S. Does anyone really envision Times New Roman being used for
subtitles? EEW! :)
