If the widths are the same, the font is not supported. This makes it a yes/no solution rather than a percentual likelihood one.

It was wrong. I was getting some false positives. I needed to create new instance for next check. Also there is a bug (at least in Firefox) that some certain fonts (for example Brook 23 or Bauhaus 93) need to be passed to fontFamily with " ". Other way you get false negative.

Firefox substituted Helvetica for all of the web fonts. Web fonts only appear in printed output if the same font is also installed in the operating system. (bug#648679 a dupe of bug#468568). This greatly complicates the installation process for web apps that print. We could limit our app to just the fonts installed on the local system, but JavaScript doesn’t have a way to enumerate those directly, and the existing work-arounds make rather unacceptable assumptions.
