Maintenance of sysfont.py (issue #179)

[Jason Marshall]

In sysfont.py, there are long lists of fonts for Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.something. I think that we should remove those lists because they're a pain to maintain, nobody has been maintaining them lately (which is why there's no font list for Windows Vista, 7 or 8), and we can get a system's list of fonts programmatically. Does anyone have a reason why I should not remove the long lists of fonts from sysfont.py?

I see no reason for keeping it. Most people seem to know what the
common system fonts are anyway.
