------- Additional Comments from Nicholas Shanks <nickshanks at nickshanks.com>
I have based this on the code committed in r91777 for bug 65197. Tests and
ChangeLogs not provided as I do not intend this diff for commit. Please provide
feedback.

I have chosen Lucida Blackletter as the default font for Windows, and
hesitantly, Blackmoor LET as the font for Mac OS X (it shipped with several
versions of AppleWorks).

To reiterate, the goal is to provide a "blackletter" generic font family,
because whilst many systems have a blackletter font installed, there has been
no ubiquitous typeface on Mac or Windows that web authors can rely on, such as
Times New Roman or Helvetica. The generic families are supposed to cater for
exactly this situation.
