Question: Should "Font" be added to subject IDs

Question: Should "Font" be added to subject IDs

   I have hesitated to add a "Font" subject ID, because it wouldn't be
good to have too many.  But it seems like it makes sense.

   On the one hand, a font can be line art or a Figlet font, so there can
be IDs like:

Line: Fiddler's Font
Binary: fiddlers.flf font

   These are OK, but fonts are popular and different enough to seem to
justify a "Font" subject ID.  What do you think?
