Access to default system fonts w/o permission?
Can we provide a way to get access to system fonts w/o a permission prompt?
This could be scoped down to be the same as "system-ui".
Depending on fingerprinting concerns... if the OS/version(/locale?) is already known, then exposing fonts known to be pre-installed on all Windows 10 en-us systems could be an acceptable amount of entropy as well. This would not expose manually installed fonts, which is a greater sense of entropy.
Maybe query({system:true}) or some such?
This idea will help Flutter developers and Compose/Wasm developers. Until now, they have had to download a font file over 5MB to ensure proper display of CJK fonts.
