Postler's Webkit view doesn't respect system font settings like color, size, or style.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

In principle the colour should be dealt with by WebKit but that may not work as expected. Font name and size definitely need to be respected.

What do you mean with style exactly? Antialiasing? Hinting?

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

By style I mean the font name :p But yea as close to system settings as possible would probably be good.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

I experimented with reading fonts and colours from the theme.

Here is a new patch, updated for the current git. I changed some things, the background color is now only used for the header, not for the body, it looks better IMO.

See the screenshots attached.

From some testing:

It no longer uses monospace font for plain text.
The size is wrong, it is too small.
I'm not about the header background. Let's keep that out of this and consider it after the font changes are done.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

I updated the last patch so it applies against latest master.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

I committed a modification of the font handling, with update on font change but without overriding monospace font. I also committed a change that applies the theme colours.
