Comment:
Its great you introduced a new interface for the TextMetrics, however it would
be useful to get a list of fonts that is available to use with .font property.
Including web fonts and available system fonts. naming for such property could
be availableFonts and the array value return could be read only. Such
interface would be useful for providing font pickers in graphical applications
etc. Currently the only existing walk around to this issue is using flash
which isn't very help full when not all devices support it.
