Aren't font and image file sizes static? Mouseover already show paths, why not mouseover or shift-mouseover to show font and image files sizes? Ignoring usefulness arguments, is this in theory not implementable?

My use cases are these:

1. Some subsetted fonts are not well done IMHO, and often a small file size is a clue that indicates I should check the quality of that particular font. When I see a rendering problem or some other anomaly, I would like a quick way to check the size.

2. Some images are rather large PNGs, and a quick file size check will guide me to deciding if is it is worth transcoding to jpeg or whatever.
