Ah, interesting to know that, thanks Jens.
Yes, I guess I could leave it unchecked. But also my files are used cross-platform, so I would prefer to store font information for standard fonts, so will probably do the translation to standard fonts during pasting anyway.

> Fonts with names prefixed with a "." or "%" are hidden from the higher-level APIs for listing fonts. It's been that way since the dawn of time (i.e. since the original Mac in 1984.) I'm not sure why iOS 7 has a separate hidden copy of Helvetica Neue that's used for the UI, though.
