This is a little off-topic for CSS-D, but still pertinent,
so I hope the question will be acceptable to most : is
it possible, using JavaScript or otherwise, to interrogate
the DOM to find out which font has actually been used
to render an element or a part thereof ? For example,
if I write
<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Arial Unicode MS',
sans-serif">
Now is the time for all good men
Եւ երկիր էր աներևոյթ և անպատրաստ
Ἀνδρόνικος Κάλλιστος
Thông tin hàng ngày ở Việt Nam
苦相身为女
</span>
can I then somehow interrogate the DOM to ascertain the
actual font used to render each character ?
