This is a little off-topic for CSS-D, but still pertinent, so I hope the question will be acceptable to most : is it possible, using JavaScript or otherwise, to interrogate the DOM to find out which font has actually been used to render an element or a part thereof ? For example, if I write <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif"> Now is the time for all good men Եւ երկիր էր աներևոյթ և անպատրաստ Ἀνδρόνικος Κάλλιστος Thông tin hàng ngày ở Việt Nam 苦相身为女 </span> can I then somehow interrogate the DOM to ascertain the actual font used to render each character ?
