My application enums through the font list to determine what fonts are
available.  My intention is to pick up a list of fonts that are "default"
Windows fonts.  Unfortunately I'm also picking up fonts that have been
installed temporarily by another Windows app.  For example, if I start up
Microsoft Clock before starting up my app, font list shows DIGITAL font.

Is there a way for me to tell if a particular font is a Windows default font or
installed by another app?  Thanks in advance!
