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.
