We should remove the test.  Everything should be robust enough to handle
trying to create a font from a bogus file name.  This could happen for
example if you pick a font from preferences and then remove that font
from your system.  The check for validity for the default font should of
course happen only once and we can assume its valid after that for the
life of the application.
