So basically, if the 'styles' parameter is a DrawingStyle object, then the
object passed to the DrawingStyle constructor is used as the font style
source object, and if none is specified we take the "Document object of the
active document of the browsing context of the Window object on which the
interface object of the invoked constructor is found." Alright. I think
we're good here.
