I "Allow document to use other fonts"

My other font-pref settings in Mozilla preferences/appearance/fonts:

Fonts for:      Western
Proportional:   Serif   [13 px]
Serif:          monotype-arial-iso8859-1 (I don't like serifs)
Sans-serif:
monotype-arial-iso8859-1
Fantasy:
adobe-courier-iso8859-1 (Urgh..)
Monospace:
monotype-courier new-iso-8859-1 [13 px]

Display resolution: 96dpi

I'm using the MS Webfonts. In addition I use a customized fonts.alias
for them, where I *try* to tune for the offset between same fontsize on
Windows and Linux. There's some confusion between pt/px i think, leaving
Linux displaying a given fonts size a notch smaller than same font on
Windows. This was more of a problem on NS4.* but I never bothered to
re-test on Mozilla - things look good here.

I use ONE additional font-setting, direct in prefs.js, to set minimum
fontsize:

user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western", 10);
