Within a style object, prefixing 'font' on these properties helps
distinguish them as "properties that apply to fonts". No such
distinction is needed for descriptors within an @font-face rule. I guess
we could go back to prepending 'font' onto everything and strictly
mimic the camel casing rules for style properties. These aren't
style properties though, they are descriptors and don't work the same
way nor do they parse the same way. The value for the 'font-family'
descriptor is single-valued for example, not a list of family names.
