As long as you make the same change when you are looking up the font
name in Canvas.setFont, no one should be able to tell the difference. 
It comes down to a philosophy issue.  Should the name be fixed up
without the user's knowledge, or should the user change the name himself
in response to an error?

I don't think there is a universally correct answer.
