i have taken a little different direction on "fonts" in abaco.
i think what one wishes to specify is the typeface.  so we need
to specify twenty fonts in the product of five point sizes and
four weight/styles (roman, italic, bold, and typewriter).

i put these in an external file in /lib/font/bit/htmlfont (sic).
there are twenty entries, for example for the "t"iny "r"oman
entry for lucida,

tr	/lib/font/bit/lucidasans/unicode.6.font

to switch fonts just set htmlfont=/lib/font/bit/htmlfont/vera
before running readweb.  easy peasy.

the face files, version of abaco supporting them, and the
version of readweb that has been modified to support this
