The full aim on *nix platforms would be to bypass completelety the historic
Firefox font defaults and use the system font defaults, with the i18n
substitution rules defined at fontconfig level. Distributions work hard to have
settings in fontconfig that correspond to the fonts they actually deploy,
Firefox is one of the last big visibility desktop app that ignores these
settings.
