Imagine the user has just downloaded a font in "~/Downloads" and tries
to visit it. The idea is to get the font family out of this file and
check if it exists on the system. If it exists, then we perform the
preview of the font, otherwise we inform the user that the font called
FONT is not installed (and then suggest to install it, but I will do
that later).
