Is setting a Font value (eg: Arial, Helvetica, Raize etc) supported?

I'm using Lazarus 1.1 r40661 FPC 2.6.3 x86_64-freebsd-gtk 2 and
dropped a button on a form, and tried to change the Button.Font value
to different fonts. It seems to change from generic Sans to Serif, but
doesn't change to the specific font or font size I selected.

Is this implemented? If so, how and where does LCL-CustomDrawn
translate say the font name 'Helvetica' to the actual *.ttf file
(required by lazfreetype) on my system?
