> Why do you even want to specify a font for body text?

Well, just wanting to pick one that looked nice for the site - some of the
themes specify a font, but the default Bootstrap and the Classic theme
don't, so maybe this one shouldn't either - I pushed up a new version with
no font specified (aside from monospace for code), so it'll just whatever
default they have set.
