However, doing so on a tag without any -font option, it even even bypasses the whole IF-THEN-ELSE statement. Now, how do I reliably fetch a tag's "option" whether that option exists or not.

The answer to that is dot dot dot , same as the question :)

Ok, a better answer might be, first wake up, then first write simple program that runs and dot dot dot don't put stuff in your program until you understand it

Secondly, How do I delete a particular option/value within tag?

configure undef

Thirdly, Does it even matter if I delete unused options or not? Will having unused option slows down the script?

Does wearing a mustache slow you down? If you're sitting down?
