Returns detailed information on a font object

fontName, fontHeight, fontFlags = MyFontObject:GetFont()

fontName: String - path to font file
fontHeight: Number - font height in pixels. Due to internal graphics engine workings, this will be ridiculously close to an integer number, but not quite ever fully
fontFlags: String - See FontInstance:SetFont().

print(GameFontNormal:GetFont());

> "Fonts\FRIZQT__.TTF"
> 12.000000298023
> ""

To get an integer font height, simply do math.floor(fontHeight+0.5);
