João, Paul, are you interested in writing a more formal specification? And
in doing the work of asking browser developers whether they have a need or
desire for this, and are likely to implement it?
cheers

There could be a collection, similar to navigator.plugins, which is
navigator.fonts.

That collection would be bound to a read only array in ecmascript, on
which method like join() could be used to get a quick list of all fonts.
This can be immensely useful for any rte editor which runs on a browser.

Is there any proposed API to get information about installed fonts
in the client at runtime ? something like navigator.plugins or
navigator.mimeTypes
I would largely second that!
Even obtaining the metrics would be nice.
Moreover, knowing if an installed font does have glyph-x or glyph-y
(note: a unicode range availability is useless) should be.
