Psst... "System Font Text" was just an NSTextField with Lucida Grande
13.  ;-)  There's no mapping of pseudo font names to actual font names
like there in in GTK/HTML/Win32.

Apple can't just change the default system font and force applications
to cope.  Localization is often dependent upon string length, which of
course is dependent upon the font in use.
