utterance to the following:
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.
