Comment(by mikeperry):

 It's also possible to induce fallback to the default system font, which
 may reveal OS info:
 http://eb0b428b.byethost7.com/screen.html (copy of that source is attached
 to #6786).

 Not sure if that is worth special casing or not. It may be hard to conceal
 OS given access to a dozen fonts, and there are likely to be ways to infer
 OS through other vectors.
