I'm not sure that is relevant here. This variable (actually it is
exposed to lisp as face-font-family-alternatives) is only used when it
has already been determined that the named font does not exist in the
system, so for example on other platforms if some lisp code requests the
font "Sans Serif" or "sans serif" and a font by that name is not
defined, "helv", "helvetica", "arial" and "fixed" are tried as
alternatives. But on NS, that list will only be used if the lisp code
requests that font with matching case.
