Okay… but can we at least shared one implementation between all of them, so 
that they have feature- and bug-parity?
Fortunately, I've found a way (see thread in -devel) to at least call one from 
the other, so that's a plus…

I'll take a look.

In English, nobody would say "fontsize"; we would say "font size". Hence 
"font-size" or "fontSize" at least make some sense.
That being said, I don't always expect hyphens or camelCase to suddenly make 
code names into recognizable English.

Best,
Kieren.
