Well, I work with Unicode fonts all the time, and find that

on mouseDown
put the fontnames into me
end mouseDown

puts all the names of the fonts on my system into my pullDown menu;

what is does (and maybe this is your problem) is that it lists the fonts
by their Latin names,
rather than their names in the language they are used for.

For the sake of argument, an Arabic font may be listed as "Arabic4"
rather than
a name in Arabic script.
