Agreed. Our best hope is to do exactly what fx does when it comes to font
matching and sizes since users will be used to their existing settings.

Although the per-screen DPI-based font size adjustment we have in WebSettings
is cool, we may have to disable it by default to match fx.

Like you say, the default sizes need looking at. Fonts like "sans" and
"monospace" are generally a good choice since FontConfig is meant to do the
right thing with them.

WebKit/Mac has special cases for certain fonts. If fx special-cases specific
fonts, we should borrow their code and/or matching rules. Time to look at

herzi, and thoughts on this? Is your patch likely to be ready soon?
