The configuration file uses an INI-style format [1], currently only the
“websettings” section is recognized. This allows configuring the properties
of the WebKitSettings [2] object used by Cog. Properties of boolean, string,
and integer will be loaded, For example, you could set the default fonts
with a configuration file that looks like this:

        [websettings]
        default-font-family = Source Sans Pro
        sans-serif-font-family = Source Sans Pro
        monospace-font-family = Source Code Pro
        serif-font-family = Source Serif Pro
        default-font-size = 13
        default-monospace-font-size = 13

Then you can run with “cog -P fdo -c settings.conf …“

I hope this helps =)
