The difference between Vim and HTML/CSS is that in Vim the list search
is global (the list will be searched once when you set the option, and
the leftmost font found on the system will be applied to the whole of
Vim) while in HTML and CSS it is characterwise (for every character, the
first font in the list which has a nondefault glyph for that character
will be applied to it).
