We have the same problem in other *menu.c files.  I fixed w32menu.c,
but there are pgtkmenu.c and nsmenu.m as well.

As for the rest: font-family-list is quite simple-minded, especially
if the frame has more than one font backend defined.  IME, to be
useful, its output should be run through delete-dups and then sorted.
