<pre>In current implementation, it seems that a newFontDescription is created and set for initial-letter's pseudoStyle.
However, only size is considered, the other font related style is not.
I think web authors may prefer have initial-letter keep its flexibility to set a font different from its surrounding text.
This also mentioned in spec: <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline/#initial-letter-properties">https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline/#initial-letter-properties</a> as well.
