It works if I sent it the main menu item, but returns no FontStyle, 
just the family. As for any of the heirarchals, no juice.
But  having the name works well enough for now...setting the font in 
the beast I am working on via familyID, not working just yet, set by 
name does in general.

But as for info, for a style selection by a hierarchicalicicacal, I 
know :

FontFamilyID
Main family Name of the Font (via parent item backtrack)
Variant  as to "Bold", "Narrow" etc (by name alone)

Not sure where to go from there.

But again, just having the fontname means at least that font gets set , 
just without the variant, whereas before I had to use a default in the 
case of a hierarchic choice.
