Webkit options in MacOSX

[Phil Longstaff]

The epiphany glue code which uses webkit does something similar - grabs the settings from gconf and passes them down to webkit.

I could apply your patch, and it would allow people to set report fonts as a temporary measure.  However, what I think we want eventually is:
1) Add report formatting preferences to global preferences
2) Add report formatting preferences to report options.  These would default to the global preferences but could be overridden for a specific report.
3) Allow preferences to be saved and restored by name?  This would be similar to the current stylesheets.
4) Embed the preferences as css in the report html.  This ensures that the report can be exported and imported to another browser and still appear the same.

I noticed this too.  I've created a patch attached to <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579621> which syncs some of these settings with gconf.  I didn't do anything about adding them to the preferences dialog, but you can set them using gconftool or the equivalent and GnuCash will honor them.
