The goal was not to banish all fonts, but a particular font, perhaps because it is ugly, but perhaps because I have trouble reading it. I can easily banish all fonts through an IE 4 checkbox. > Also, you should be able to turn off author style sheets and apply your > own. Right, but this isn't solving the problem as it was described and it isn't using the mechanism (!important) described. My question to Stephen (offline) was how he would use the mechanism he described to solve th problem he described. What I'm asking for is a mechanism for me to map constructs in the *rendered version* to other constructs. Particular fonts to other fonts, particular colors to other colors, small text to big text, etc. To me, that is more useful reader/author balance because the input to the process is predictable: a fully rendered document, rather than unpredictable: an unknown stylesheet with unknown classes using !important in unknown places.
