Access to default system fonts w/o permission? #66

Open inexorabletash opened 3 years ago

inexorabletash commented 3 years ago

Can we provide a way to get access to system fonts w/o a permission prompt?

This could be scoped down to be the same as "system-ui".

Depending on fingerprinting concerns... if the OS/version(/locale?) is already known, then exposing fonts known to be pre-installed on all Windows 10 en-us systems could be an acceptable amount of entropy as well. This would not expose manually installed fonts, which is a greater sense of entropy.

Maybe query({system:true}) or some such?
