When investigating bug 1348259 etc, we use default charset via content-encoding.
Example, when browsing Shift-JIS page, Japanese fonts is default font.  But when browsing UTF-8 page, default font locale is OS locale setting now.

We might be able to reference HTTP header (content-language, nsIDocument.GetContentLanguage) before usign OS locale setting.

Interesting idea. But be careful, HTTP header of some web servers may be a liar. So, we should refer it as just a hint, not trustable information. I mean, shouldn't override more trusable information such as lang attribute.
