Um, yes but...

In Firefox the FontFaceRule#style is read only, in Chrome it's buggy to use
and in Safari it can be used but there are still some funky edge cases. So
while it may "exist", it's definitely not in a very usable state in current
implementations.

Fair enough, I'll see what I can do to get this implemented, as I really
don't want weird properties showing up in style objects every time a new
@font-face descriptor is added.
