This introduces yet another absolute font size specification
which leads to rendering issues like:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dwww/91539

While the consensus since 2006 seems to be that the affected users
should just suck it and use local workarounds, in my opinion as an
affected user it would be preferable not to make the rendering issues
even worse.

I don't mind the font style change itself.
