I'd thought there was already a request for this, but I couldn't turn it 
up so I just filed one:

   It would be helpful if all objects which have a textFont
   property could have a useSystemFont property.  When true,
   the current OS font and size are applied.

   The same inheritance rules that apply to the textfont
   properties would apply here, and any object which has a
   textFont or textSize specified would of course have
   these local properties take precedence.

I've cc'd Lynn here since he's expressed a keen interest in smoothing 
cross-platform workflows.
