Spawned off of bug #68256.

There I said:

Maybe I should implement a `pft` request that reports the god damned font
properties instead of us having to do all this chicken-entrail reading.

This plus the recent experience with bug #68515 persuades me that more
powerful introspection lenses make diagnostic procedures much less tedious.
