If there is a native manner that i didn't consider, please advise. Otherwise:

Tested Classic V2023.01.16 on WIN10
Note: Fonts located
outside of the System folder (including ...\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts)
are accessible via ChooseRawFile() otherwise.
Add: could others on other OSs advise if ChooseRawFile()
can select a System font and report? ie, is this a win-only issue? (i've tried running as Admin, etc).
And, does the code provided work as expected on other operating systems?
