<pre>Hi there, it is a bit unclear to me what the status of this bug/patch is.
I came here from a fairly interesting discussion on <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752533">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752533</a>
The problem is if you have this: font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
Epiphany+WebKit goes through that list, and as Arial and Helvetica are not found on the system, when it hits "sans-serif" it then asks for GNOME's default "sans" font, which happens to be DejaVu Sans Book; the problem with that is that on Linux systems, there are often much better matches available, such as Liberation Sans (metrically equivalent to Arial, thus preserving the page's intended layout). So what I'm suggesting is that when you hit the generic "sans-serif" CSS rule, you ask fc-match for the font corresponding to the first non-generic font of the list (so, in a way, a "second pass"). Is this what this bug report & patch is about?</pre>
