It would certainly be awesome if Firefox 3 had a "Use system font
settings" option, just as it has a "Use system proxy settings" option.
I think you'd need to lobby the Firefox community for that, though--
I'd guess that doing it ourselves would mean the sort of source code
changes that meant we weren't allowed to call what we shipped
"Firefox" any more...
