History
michael 5ac352bc3c * Some reworking by Graeme Geldenhuys: 
ttf: renamed SearchForFont() to SearchForFonts(). Plural makes more sense.
  ttf: extra sanity check before calling SearchForFont()
  ttf: new AssignFontList() method introduced.
       This populates AStrings with a list of found PostScript names. 
       Useful for fpReport and probably a visual report designer too.
  ttf: new overloaded Find() method, and Find-by-PostScript name.
       FamilyName is normally the base font name only. 
       PostScriptName is the base name plus an attribute suffix. 
       eg: Calibri vs Calibri-Bold
