To put what you wrote another way, with a font family list such as your
example, the visitor is at the designer's mercy to see only the designer's
choice of fonts, instead of the visitor's, even if the visitor has spent big
money on high quality but uncommon fonts and chosen as default one of them.
I wish it was possible for users of all languages to set their preferred
font for their language in all browsers. IT IS NOT possible. Doesn't
matter which browser you use there are writing scripts for which a user
can not set or specify a default font through the browsers user
interface. The best you can do is write a stylesheet to override a sites
CSS rules. But not all users are able to write their own stylesheets.
