[ZDP] Being nice to *NIX users and the joy of CSS...

[Jules Allen]

That's an *excellent* point! Anything I can do for readability at any
resolution is ok with me.

And a <!--#var smlFont--> and <!--#var whateverFont--> applied globally
should make life much easier for changing this stuff in the future.

Anybody like/dislike that idea?

If so, what do we need?

	smlFonts: (navbar, etc) 
		Faces: "fixed,geneva,ms sans serif,sans serif"
		Size:  -1 or -2?

	stdFonts: (body) 
		Faces: Define at all or just leave as user default?

	smlFixedFonts: (example code)
		Fonts: "fixed, courier new, courier"
		Size:  -1

	stdFixedFonts: body
		Fonts: "fixed, courier new, courier"
		Size:  Default

What am I missing?
