Hi Steve.  Unfortunately, a lot of web pages set their own fonts, and
it seems many request tahoma before falling back on something like
generic sans.  If I disallow web pages to choose their own fonts, then
my setting will take effect, but I'm afraid a lot of web sites will be
ugly with my chosen font.  If I could somehow map tahoma to liberation
sans, then I think the problem would be solved....
