Regarding comment #9, I believe you are touching upon a bug in CSS, whereby
serif/sans-serif and monospace/proportional are actually orthogonal properties
which have been conflated.
For example, compare Courier and Monaco.

If WebKit implements hierarchical preferences like Gecko has, we should use:

font.<script>.serif
font.<script>.serif.monospace
font.<script>.sans-serif
font.<script>.sans-serif.monospace

Presumably the font used for characters that have no script would be chosen
based on the surrounding script, if any.
