I didn't even know Jon's patch was in Gerrit (or if I did, I forgot), when I
wrote that comment.  That's why I didn't mention it.

I agree it's inconsistent/incomplete/whatever you want to call it.  The
question is where we go from here.

Since we're talking about fallacies, can you try to avoid ad hominem?

You still haven't explained why this is such an *urgent* problem with the site
that we can't change it as part of a switch to a global Vector font stack, even
though that's in progress.

If it becomes clear the global font stack push has stalled, I will be glad to
reconsider in a while.

 Would this be easier to

No, the point is that if we're doing a global font stack, and it seems we are,
that should be one unit of work.

You are essentially asking to flip the font twice for users, even if we do
choose to use the same (or close enough) stack, and even if the global stack
comes out quite soon.
