\brief
        Class providing a shared library of Font objects to the system.

        The FontManager is used to create, access, and destroy Font objects.  The idea is that the
        FontManager will function as a central repository for Font objects used within the GUI system,
        and that those Font objects can be accessed, via a unique name, by any interested party within
        the system.
