If you don't mind using Pixrect calls, you can get all the information you
want about fonts.  If you're idea of the "system font" is just the font
you see when you're not running any kind of windowing software, it's just
a Pixrect font.  See the Pixrect reference manual (for 3/60 manuals, it's
bundled with SunCore and SunCGI).
