Comment (by NekoJonez):

 Polyglot for Dutch and Flemish here. We dont translate font names. Since
 some font names are brandnames and copyright protected.

 Also, afaik... Office doesnt translate font names either.

 I went to various plugins and as far as I can see... Other locales dont
 translate font names either. See examples here:
 https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/mailpoet/dev/nl-
 be/default/?filters%5Bterm%5D=Font+family&filters%5Bterm_scope%5D=scope_any&filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filter=Apply+Filters&sort%5Bby%5D=translation_date_modified&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

 Also, if you look up a font like Comic Sans on Wikipedia, you notice that
 only one locale translated it:
 https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Sans#/languages

 I'll throw this in #polyglots but font names arent usually translated
 afaik.
