Probably not something to mandate in the spec, but logically needed for implementations that care about user control and limiting bandwidth usage. The question pertained to the evaluation of the proposed web fonts media query. I foresee potential problems if it were to evaluate to "true" if a user has disabled web fonts (regardless of how the user chooses to do that or what options his browser offers). FWIW with my preferred browser using a user stylesheet would be the most convenient method if a user wants their preferred fonts to be used, but also wants to have the option to quickly disable that override without having to change the prefs for normal text, h1, h2, etc. etc. -- Spartanicus
