You can easily check yourself by comparing FPCanvas and Graphics source.
In particular,
TFPCustomPen misses Cosmetic, EndCap and JoinStyle propertues,
TFPCustomBrush is ok except for Color, and
TFPCustomFont misses CharSet, Pitch, Quality and Style, and
overrides Name and Size which may lead to subtle bugs.

Why? It is only a few lines of code.

Except it will not work with Object Inspector and is stylistically incompatible
with quite large base of Delphi/Lazarus graphics application.

Lack of Color will force me to create TChart-specific versions of pen/brush/font
despite all the other work you have done.
