The font pickers (editor, fallback, UI, terminal) become editable comboboxes: type to search installed families or enter any family name, and Refresh re-reads the system fonts. ide-fonts' cached family list is now refreshable (DirectWrite re-queries the system collection with checkForUpdates; CoreText and fontconfig are read anew), exposed through system_font_families(refresh). Before the first native result the pickers fall back to Canvas detection of common families; saved names and the last catalog are kept when a refresh fails. Fonts are enumerated on the local desktop in remote-development windows too.

The font pickers never read the installed fonts: they probed a hard-coded list of ~30 names with canvas width checks, so anything outside the list never appeared and the monospaced filter changed nothing. A new ide-fonts crate asks the platform font system for families and their fixed-pitch flag (CoreText on macOS, DirectWrite on Windows, fc-list on Linux/BSD), exposed as system_font_families (spawn_blocking, cached). Every font picker — editor font and fallback, terminal font and fallback, UI custom font — uses one FontSelect with prefix type-ahead, a real monospaced filter, and keeps an uninstalled selection visible.

Fixes#199
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Dq6jQQn8ZhRfkkyj3PRutA
Root cause: the terminal built its own font-family ("JetBrains Mono", Nerd Fonts, monospace) without the bundled "JetBrains Mono Variable", so on Windows (no JetBrains Mono installed) xterm fell back to the system monospace (SimSun on Chinese Windows); xterm also measured cells before the webfont loaded.
Fix: one resolver (src/platform/fonts.ts monoFontFamily) maps JetBrains Mono to the bundled face; xterm re-measures once fonts load; "Use editor font" also takes the editor's fallback font (IDEA).
Siblings covered: embedded run terminal, editor default family + fallback, Settings › Editor › Font preview.
Verified in-app on macOS (terminal renders JetBrains Mono Variable). Not verified on Windows.
