I have no qualms about defaulting to a sans-serif typeface, but the provided diff is also selecting a font (Verdana) and a font size (10pt). Using Chrome I am able to specify a default sans-serif font as well as a default font size, so the only thing your patch does is change my settings to something else. I understand that many people don't set default fonts for whatever reason, but I believe that just setting the "font-family" property to sans-serif should have the desired effect without irking those who have found their font settings. On Chrome in Windows I believe this would switch the font from Times New Roman to Arial. _______________________________________________ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
