The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

Fuck me sideways.

Also, I'd remove battery charge metric from the fingerprint. Since it changes over time, I wouldn't really consider it a good or even usable metric.

Could be used in combination with other metrics to identify a specific user's movements through a site over time, if the other metrics aren't unique enough.

Possibly, but when you have time as a realiable metric already, you dont need another metric that ticks down at an unknown and inconsistent speed, and goes up once in a while. Hell, I keep my laptop plugged 99% of the time.
