Yes, if you're feeling lazy, you can use the name of a system font family in any field that takes a family name, and Quad will comply. But if you do this, bear in mind that your document will no longer necessarily be portable between systems, because it depends on a certain font already being available on that system. I include this option because I can imagine plenty of uses for Quad where ease outweighs portability. In which case, have at it.

If you do this, bear in mind that your source file will no longer necessarily be portable between systems, because it depends on a certain font already being available on that system. ("Portable" referring to one's ability to run the source file on a different machine and get an equivalent result.)

When I say "portable" I mean the source file only. Once you generate a PDF from the source file, the PDF itself will always be portable. Regardless of whether you invoke a system font or project font in your source file, the font will be embedded within the PDF. The PDF will then display correctly on any platform, with the correct fonts.
