That sets off my alarm bell.

We used to have the problem that Firefox would sometimes pick
piss-poor bitmap fonts, because they matched a font name specified
by a website.  Sometimes--I think especially with printing--this
would cause compelete disasters like Firefox using a font ten times
too small.

All of that went away at some point when Firefox, or rather the
underlying graphics stack, stopped picking up bitmap fonts compeletely.

Please reassure me that your change will not cause those problems
to reappear.
