The first font from the list is getting automatically applied as soon as the local fonts are fetched.
Would it possible to add the first option as a placeholder, something like "--Choose a font--"?

Not a bad suggestion, but I don't think this is necessary.

The MDN Local Font Access API documentation has several pages that link to this demo hosted on Glitch.
Because Glitch is going away, and the linked demo above doesn't work, I've decided to create my own simple version of it, which is added in this PR.
Note that the Local Font Access API requires HTTPS. It won't work if you test it on localhost. Ironically, I ended up testing it in Glitch, as it is still around for a few more days: https://cat-judicious-hose.glitch.me/ ;-)
