We already embed the font (PT Mono).

I’m not very good with the inspector, but Chrome appears to say about this draft [1]:
PT Mono—Local file(2280 glyphs)
Courier—Local file(24 glyphs)
Lucida Grande—Local file(2 glyphs)

I don’t know how to get Chrome to reveal which characters of the HTML source which glyph out of the above list.
