Re: [css-houdini-drafts] [css-typed-om] Font Family Name doesn't uniquely identify a font face

Thru a separate mechanism? `FontFace` already exists, we just need to pipe those to Custom Paint.  My point tho is that `FontFace` is *not* a representation of the value of the `font` property; it's the *result* of applying the `font` query to the UA's set of available fonts. (In other words, running [FontFaceSet.load()](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-font-loading/#font-face-set-load).)  This is very different from `<image>` values, which *do* directly represent a distinct resource.

Chatting with @bfgeek after posting this yesterday led us to the vague idea of just providing the equivalent of `FontFaceSet.load()` to the appropriate worklets, and automagically hooking up the invalidation logic to the load status of the associated fonts when you depend on a `<font>`-typed property.
