Commit summary:

if we scale the $(body), interface is becoming wrong. Apply the font scaling, 
if present in configuration to selected nodes.

Comment:

There are some fonts which require scaling by  applications. For example 
Malayalam font Meera relies on 
fontconfig(http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig). The rules in 
fontconfig will say how much the font need to be scaled to match other fonts. 
More here-

 If we are not doing this scaling, the font will be small.  But I am yet to 
figure out a way to do uniform scaling. I saw CSS3 @fontface specification 
mentioning about this. But it seems browsers are not supporting synthetic 
scaling of fonts- my bug report on mozilla bugzilla - 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675656  Changed the implementation 
of scale funcation as a TODO item in r94038 for now.
