------- Comment #10 from ojan at chromium.org  2009-04-22 14:13 PDT -------
Talked to hyatt on IRC. We came to the conclusion that we should match FF
behavior to maximize compatibility. To be clear, this means we only use the
fixed-width font-size if the font-family is set to *exactly* monospace. For
font-family:'monospace', font-family:foo,monospace and
font-family:monospace,foo, we should use the standard font-size.

Longer-term we should test a webkit build that has one font-size for all fonts
and see how bad the compat hit is. If it's minor, then we can consider getting
rid of the font preferences entirely for Safari/Chrome. According to Hyatt,
noone especially wants these preferences. They are just leftovers from Netscape
long ago that everyone matched for compatibility.
