Comment:

 DirectWrite is one of two font rendering APIs used on Windows (the other
 is GDI). It doesn't quite work yet. The system fonts are not loaded, and
 bundled fonts are loaded. But all text is rendered as squares, even in
 browser chrome—except, curiously, Georgian text. [http://qwikfix.co.uk
 /sky-contact-number/ this] ticket attempts to solve an orthogonal problem,
 which is that it is possible to enumerate the system fonts installed on a
 user's machine.
