Font family / font alias support

[blueznl]

Foreign and specialized fonts can be a pain in the *** when building a website. Not all browsers handle them well, not all platforms are equal.

Some suggestions:

1. Allow to user to specify alternatives for a given font

Ie. if the user picks 'Noto Sans CJK' let him / her specify a few fallback options, such as 'Sim Hei'. Now if the website is exported, somewhere in the CSS / HTML code Xara should generate a line with the main preferred font, and one or more backups.

Yes, browsers typically have their default look up tables if they do not have or recognize the given fonts. Unfortunately, this doesn't provide very consistent behavior over the different platforms... (See attached image for an example.)

I am aware this pretty much only makes sense for the web designer component

2. Support OTF's

OTF's are supported inside the regular Xara workflow, and they work well in web sites, but the OTF files are apparently not being exported. At least I could not get them to work...

3. Allow the user to EXCLUDE embedded fonts

Sim Hei, Sim Sun, and Yahei are pretty much 'default' fonts in Asia, and all browsers seem to have adequate (though often ugly) defaults for them. Why embed the TTF file if these are pretty much as 'websafe' as it gets?
