109439 - Make new CSS fonts for skins

Status: NEW

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P5)

Description

[Pierre Saslawsky]

The issue was debated under bug 71539 and it would allow to fix bug 102224.

We already have 2 moz system fonts defined in GFX: tooltips and widget.  We need 
to hook them up in the style system and then add several more -moz fonts.  Using 
only -moz fonts in the skins would allow us to address content and skin issues 
separately.  For instance, an important constraint in the content is the 
compatibility with Nav4 and IE.  We don't have such thing in the skins.

In addition to...
  -moz-tooltips
  -moz-widget (for button, radio, checkbox...)

I propose...
  -moz-okButton
  -moz-pullDownMenu
  -moz-list
  -moz-tab
  -moz-field
  -moz-icon
  -moz-menu
  -moz-statusBar
  -moz-fieldset

We also need...
  -moz-system (the large thick font used in window title bars)
  -moz-text
  -moz-boldText

We should stop using because they are confusing...
  window
  caption
  smallCaption
And also (but do we use any of these anyhow?)...
  document
  workspace
  desktop
  info
  dialog
  messageBox

In the future, when creating a new control, it would be best to request a new 
-moz font instead of reusing a font from another widget or a generic font like 
-moz-text.
