Research direction

Start with the linked DirectWrite IDWriteFont::GetInformationalStrings documentation and locate the existing C++/Python extension bindings for related font methods. Done means exposing this function through the extension and making its informational strings accessible to Python callers.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
