I've just taken a quick look at this patch. I must say that I'm not entirely
happy with the approach. font-stretch for me should ideally be part of the font
selection process and not just squeeze the font. Some font-families offer
specially designed condensed or expanded font variants. At the moment, we're
just using font-weight and font-style in the selection process but that's not
enough. This also means we have to rethink the FontTriplet class as it wouldn't
have 3 elements anymore, but 4. Only if there's no condensed/expanded variant
available in the font selection should forced font stretching be used. Actually,
just implementing like this would be fine by me, but putting the stretch value
is the thing I really don't like here and what triggered my comment.

When I've worked through most of my priorities in the next two or three months
I'll try to find time to improve the whole font subsystem. It is something I
care about but at the moment I have to concentrate my time on different things.
