If we don't set any font by default, the purpose of this extension will get
defeated. If new readers, new visitors coming to any wiki and if they are not
able to see the content properly, it is an issue. That is what we are trying to
address. For eg, most of the time, a visitor to or.wikipedia.org will see just
boxes when they land first time. They wont bother to select a font and solve
this issue. If we dont set a default font, see how ml wiki is rendered with IE8
http://thottingal.in/tmp/ml-wiki-winxp-IE8.png We have seen so many news paper,
tv reports about ml wiki using windows xp, kartika font. So definitely a
default font is must. Once familiar with the wiki pages, a user can change the
font or make the font to none, or even remove the menu itself.

In short, the idea is to avoid any squares/questionmarks from the wiki page for
a visitor without expecting any extra clicks from him/her.
