Well this last line is all that's needed, style sheets will override
whatever font I pick.

Thanks for the links, hadn't thought of doing that comparison, here is
what I get: http://fruple.com/kemper/font_sizes2.png

Seems like Iceweasel has some issues with font sizes, chrome's
progression is clearly more linear while iceweasel has some "spikes":
7pt is much bigger than 6, while being almost equal to 8. Same thing at
9/10/11 points.

Should I file this as a bug? And against what package? Iceweasel itself
or does it have another package taking care of the font rendering?

Thanks
