I disagree. Bug 911130 refers to something completely different.

Now, the discussion over there drifted to overlap this bug.
IMO, the use case you mention is something different. It's to have a list of
preferred fonts at the top of the drop-down list, NOT the most recently used.

That's something that could be done in a different manner: allow the user to
pin fonts to the top of the drop-down menu.
