Patch, for comments only

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.
