Yes, it will be used for some thing other than reports, such as, error
message, which are just very simple html/text without any css.

Yeah, I think replace hard-coded is good. When I installed a new
GnuCash for testing, Chinese will not be shown since the hard-coded
'Arial' in Default CSS, so I have to manually set them to 'Microsoft
YaHei' to make it work.

And I just curious, why the CJK text in the menu, label or butten of
the gtk window interface can be shown correctly, even the font was set
to 'Arial' or 'Sans', but the webkit cannot show them correctly? Are
they use pango differently? or gtk has some machanism to ensure the
CJK text display correctly?
