There is no good solution for this.

The `tm_query` tool is simply reading your various `.tm_properties` 
files (including the `Default.tmProperties` included with TextMate) and 
returning the requested value (or exiting with a non-zero return code if 
not found). So there is no fixed list of keys.

Originally the `Default.tmProperties` file had a setting for `fontName` 
but because Apple has changed the default fixed width font, it wasn’t 
good to put a hardcoded name in `Default.tmProperties` (since TextMate 
should default to the fixed width font that is default for the user’s 
OS version).

I am not sure for what the TextMate Jedi Completion bundle uses the font 
name, but it will need its own fallback, incase `$TM_QUERY` exits with a 
non-zero return code.

You can hardcode the fallback as `Menlo-Regular` but technically the 
user can override the system’s default fixed width font using the 
`NSFixedPitchFont` user defaults setting.

This can be obtained using: `defaults read -g NSFixedPitchFont`

The default size can be changed using the `NSFixedPitchFontSize` key.
