[Adium-devl] WKMV styles and the Set Font control

[Peter Hosey]

 From a user report on feedback:

> when i go to the messages tab in preferences and click 'set font'  
> any changes i make are not saved and the font remains lucida grande  
> 12.

This is because whatever message view style he's using has the font  
hard-coded.

GoneDark, for example, uses Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, in that  
order. The sans-serif part is fine, but since Helvetica exists on  
every Mac, and Arial exists on most, GoneDark will never get there—it  
will always use Helvetica or Arial, never the user-supplied font.

(Explicit fonts received from the remote side or set in the inputline  
do work, because they set a font on the run of text that is inserted  
into the template before that's inserted into the message view. The  
above problem affects text that has no explicit font.)

At the very least, we need a style rule that says “don't use anything  
other than the standard font variables for message text in your  
message view style”.

Is there anything else we can do about this?
