That snippet of code practically meant "don't use anything but the
standard fonts (by name) in the report". It obviously wanted to prevent the
rml2pdf engine from crashing at a non-existent font.
Well, if the report specifies a font that cannot be mapped by the system,
it should preferably raise an exception (and ask us to fix the report), not
silently ignore the font.
Case 1: the internationalized reports, where font name is used to select a
Unicode-capable font.
Case 2: l10n_ch, where the OCR-B font had to be used (perhaps legal req.)
