We're not just discussing fonts, though. The current questions include how to best use different background colors to distinguish between *kinds of Wikipedia page*. "Default font for everything" is common; specific-to-a-single- Website things will be set by few people.
You might be but I was answering Erik's suggestion that all sorts of unecessary stuff like script and cookies be used to give users control of font size and face for articles. The sub-thread background discussion is happening somewhere else on this list.
Actually, a few months back I posted a feature request at sourceforge suggesting that user preferences be expanded to allow users to specify an URL(s) for their personal stylesheet(s) (plural allowing for meta, talk). I would host my preferred skin on my internal network, saving wikipedia bandwidth, and I'm sure people who create skins might allow others to link to them on their own server space.
