Ah, so this is just a value of DONTKNOW, FIXED and VARIABLE - not what I
thought about ("character per inch").

Also the four properties are just a way to describe different aspects of *one*
actual property - chosen font. So the set of 12 bullets in comment 5 in fact
only describes 3 actual properties: Western font (its name, charset, family,
and pitch), Asian font, and Complex font.

A possible question for a *different* request could be merging these four
sub-properties into some single complex meta-property (but then it would not
match the actually usable property names, making it harder for macro writers to
understand what to set in their macros; could be in turn solved using
descriptive tooltips).
