The purpose of cut in the previous iteration of the fc-list command was to remove the commas and following portions of the font family name (localized name perhaps?).
Without it, we get output such as:
```
$ fc-list --format="%{family}\n" | sort | uniq | tail -n 1
WenQuanYi Micro Hei,文泉驛微米黑,文泉驿微米黑
```
With the field reference ```[0]``` we get:
```
$ fc-list --format="%{family[0]}\n" | sort | uniq | tail -n 1
WenQuanYi Micro Hei Mono
```
I missed this minor but important difference when first reading @jdhao's suggestion in issue #1.
