I'll do whatever the bullshit consensus tell me to do.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DX, I was just kidding.
So where are we with sheet options? Is it being considered over tweaking individual settings? If it is predefined sheets, are those options workable?

IMO, yes and yes. So long as we manage to find a way to make DX happy. Heh.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
DX, I was just kidding.
I know you were. You asked which of the proposed changes to the code I would like to see. If we can't do it, we can't do it. I just don't see why we have to be locked in to such a fugugly default font.
And this is not about making me happy. If I'm the only person who has a problem with the font, then take it off the list.

I was kidding about stealing your font, not kidding about what changes you want.
If we can easily set up cascade so that there's a barebones resulting style -- it seems a good thing for usability too, fug aside.

I like Verdana, but I don't want it to be the default for every site I visit. I'd be fine with making the b.org font selectable.

Seems like that should be doable, but I'd need to experiment.

I've got it, Jon, but I haven't had a chance to look at the HTML yet. My internet connection is going to be inconvenient until the weekend.

From an automation PoV, do you think it will be best to have one base stylesheet and then a selectable one?

If we can get it to work, I'm thinking one base stylesheet, and then a style tag in every page's header with the font, either immediately before or after the base stylesheet (however that works, I can never remember).

I'm thinking of a consistent mechanism to handle all the available styles, though. Can all the scenarios be handled the same way? Because I think we should prioritise the ones that can be abstracted and handled with a system.
I like systems.
