Description
There are font families like MS Shell Dlg 2 which will not be resolved at the moment:
> cargo run --example match-font -- "MS Shell Dlg 2"
Error: NotFound
I'm not sure if it's possible to resolve them via winapi, but they are defined here: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\

Research direction
Start with the match-font example and reproduce the MS Shell Dlg 2 lookup failure. Investigate the Windows FontSubstitutes registry path mentioned in the issue and determine how default font families should be resolved. Done means the example resolves MS Shell Dlg 2 instead of returning NotFound.
