I need the exact FontInstance (a term that I coined) for whatever web-page the
user is currently viewing on whatever browser that they are using. A
FontInstance specifies all of the characteristics of the font rendering.
Typeface name, foreground color, background color, italic, bold, underline,
strikethrough. The most important thing that I need is typeface name, the next
most important thing that I need is point size. I also must have foreground and
background color.
