// names and the fonts present on the machine.
//
// The default implementations of all functions will ask the user if they are
// not capable of finding the answer themselves and store the answer in a
// config file (configurable via SetConfigXXX functions). This behaviour may
// be disabled by giving the value of FALSE to "interactive" parameter.
// However, the functions will always consult the config file to allow the
// user-defined values override the default logic and there is no way to
// disable this - which shouldn't be ever needed because if "interactive" was
// never TRUE, the config file is never created anyhow.
