The DefFontData is platform independent, for several reasons:
-The problem is that there is not one default font. The default font depends
on the context. For example, the gtk can define for each widget a font (and
sometimes more than one). Just like the system color. The values in
DefFontData should be translated by the intf to the context specific
defaults.
- It is used for streaming.
The DefFontData values are the same as the default property values of TFont
and so a default font is not saved. 

The font implementation is not complete, so probably we need some more
functions to handle theme dependent fonts.
