is there a way to clone a font that already exists? Apparently, 

 will only give a reference to an already existing font, which doesn't help, since the newly created reference will react to modifications done to the original font (like size changes etc). 

 also won't help, since there's no way to figure out the slant and weight of a font (at least there's no method that I knew). My idea so far has been to simple

Do you have any suggestions?

Yes, looks like you are correct that the current set of jfont functions exported are a bit thin. I've created a ticket to expand on this capability in the future. Not ideal but perhaps you can work around by tracking any modifications to the original font yourself since if you create a font you are the only one that will modify it after that.
