This is a followup to this question.
I am working on a component for the CKEditor, a tweaked version of the font drop-down menus that always display the currently selected font family / size values, no matter where they were defined, using computedStyle
and consorts.
As you can see in the other question, determining the font size works cross-browser now. Now I am having trouble working with the fontFamily
attribute. My generic "computed style" function returns only the full font string that was defined, e.g.
Times New Roman, Georgia, Serif
What I need, in order to match the setting against the entries in the font family dropdown, is a fixed font name of the actual font of the DOM element I am checking.
Can this be done somehow, at least for the most common web fonts?
