system fonts not found

I noticed this morning that my Times and Palatino system fonts are not being 
found anymore. I removed my fontManager.cache and ran my script with 
verbose=debug, and it looks like creatFontDict found them, but then findfont 
cant:

I recently fixed another bug related to font finding when an explicit
file name was passed -- I wonder if I broke a normal use case.  It's a
simple change shown in the diff below.  Could you manually revert on
your end and see if it makes a difference.  If so, I'll have to find
another solution to the problem I was fixing.

Re: system fonts not found

John,

As you may know, you're reverting the change Michael made sometime
ago. Michael said it is not a bug, but rather intended.

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6e8d907b0809031201p4bb0701eo23b3d294797a8766%40mail.gmail.com

So, I would appreciate if you reiterate this with Micheal before I
change back my scripts again.

Regards,

-JJ
