[JW Lua] FCUI:IsFontAvailable() very slow on Fin25 / V0.50 - factor 200

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

On Windows, it seems like the API is completely broken when the font 
name isn't found. In my tests, it's about 1,000 times slower in that 
particular case, on Windows! I'll let MM know.

On the Mac, the API solution is actually faster than my implementation.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
