(From update of attachment 5664)
Adding more special cases for fonts that are incorrectly reported as fixed
pitch is fine. But I do want each of the fonts that behave wrong in this
respect reported to the AppKit team in a bugreport.apple.com bug report (not
necessarily a separate one for each font family). I don't think it's good to
remove the list of bug numbers and fonts that were mentioned in those bugs from
the code. We could convert it to a more-terse format, but I want to keep a
connecton between special case family names and the bug reports mentioning the
need for them.

I'm not sure that the NSFixedPitchFontMask in the traits should be identical to
the results of isFontFixedPitch: -- since the former is used for selecting
fonts, and the latter is used to ensure that glyph widths all match it's not
clear to me that they need to be in sync. But perhaps there's concrete reason
why it's important to have both contain the exception list. Can you explain
why?
