I have googled a bit. These two articles describe what I think is the
issue we are trying to address:
http://code.stephenmorley.org/html-and-css/fixing-browsers-broken-monospace-font-handling/
http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2010/02/12/fixed-monospace-sizing/
The recipe in the first one seems to work somewhat, but not quite as
well as the current javascript. (The recipe in the second article is
ultimately equivalent but more verbose.)
I tend to agree with Bruce that we could just fix this within the
current framework. But if we want to make a change, there is the
information.
