Screenshot Nightly WebKitGTK+

After bug 133604, "Latin Modern Math" is used as the default font on Linux. I attach an updated screenshot with a trunk build. The reasoning here is that math people are likely to have a TeX distribution installed on their system and so a fortiori the Latin Modern font available, so missing math font for MathML becomes unlikely. This is of course not 100% sure and the result may be very different for each Linux distribution / user. I vaguely heard that the GUST group was working on another MATH font that could be installed by default on Linux. Another option to consider is autoinstallation via PackageKit (bug 22621).

I think the QT port is no longer supported. However, that the "missing fonts" issue might still apply to the GTK/EFL ports.
