Feature Request: Highlight the current font

Reported by t...@scalpel.com, May 30 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open DevTools 
2. Click Computed Tab
3. View font-family

What is the expected behavior?
I expect to see which font in the list of font families is actually being rendered instead of the full list I have declared.

What went wrong?
When you declare a series of font families it is difficult to tell which typeface is actually being rendered on the screen. You can remove fonts one by one until it is clear which font is being loaded but this is a tedious process and I am a lazy man. It would be nice if I could see which font was loaded via some mechanism such as highlighting in the list of fonts or even better would be to shift click through the list of fonts like you can do with the different types of color declarations. This would also help with debugging font rendering across multiple devices.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.12.4
Flash Version: 

I dunno, fonts are cool I guess.

Considering this as a feature request and making the status to Untriaged so that the issue would get addressed.

Thank you.

Did you scroll the computed style section lower to see the actual matched font? We consider it to be more important than the matched one because same matched font names could map into different actual fonts and vice versa.

Ah, I didn't know that section was down there! It still would be nice to toggle through all of the different font options to see how things render when you fallback to system fonts.
