Thanks.

Just to call out more clearly a question that I had implied: are
the fonts *still* hardcoded for *NIX versions of Moz? With the 
tremendous amount of work that went into Mozilla, I'm surprised
that that particularly evil inheritance from Netscape 3 and 4 has been
retained. I would have thought font selection would have gone into
prefs.js - or a stylesheet - but not hardcoded by this time. Wow.
